Go Chase It

Ball chaser mobile robot using ROS and Gazebo.

This repo consists of two packages:

  • my_robot package defines the simulation world and the robot.
  • ball_chaser package contains the nodes responsible for controlling the robot.

Prerequisites

  • ROS installed on Linux
  • Cmake
  • gcc/g++ compiler

Build

  • Create and build a catkin workspace. If you have catkin_ws, skip to the next step. 
    $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd /carkin_ws/src
$ catkin_init_workspace
$ cd /catkin_ws/
$ catkin_make
  • Clone the repository to your source folder. 
    $ cd /catkin_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/yabdulra/Go-Chase-It.git
$ cd ..
$ catkin_make

Launch

  • Launch the simulation world 
    $ source devel/setup.bash
$ roslaunch my_robot world.launch
  • In a new terminal, launch the ball_chaser package. 
    $ source devel/setup.bash
$ roslaunch ball_chaser ball_chaser.launch

Now that everything is set, pickup the white ball and place it within the field of view of the robot. The robot will follow the white ball.
