Building Smarter Robots with Behavior Trees in ROS 2
Discover how Behavior Trees can help you structure intelligent robot behaviors in ROS 2 using modular logic, clear control flow, and intuitive tools like Groot. 🤖 Why Behavior Matters in Robotics Robots that operate in the real world face much more than just navigation tasks. They need to handle dynamic environments, unpredictable humans, and ambiguous […]
Navigazione waypoint ROS2 con ripianificazione dinamica tramite Nav2
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to implement waypoint-based navigation in ROS2 using the Nav2 stack, enhanced with dynamic replanning capabilities. This setup enables your robot to follow a sequence of predefined goals and recalculate the path if unexpected obstacles appear. It’s ideal for autonomous patrol or area coverage in indoor environments. 📝 Requirements – […]
Advanced SLAM in ROS2: Mapping with Cartographer
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Google’s Cartographer with ROS2 to perform advanced 2D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). Cartographer is a real-time SLAM algorithm that provides loop closure and accurate map construction in dynamic environments. We’ll use a simulated TurtleBot3, but the steps are adaptable to real robots. 📝 Requirements – ROS2 […]
Creating a 2D map with GMapping (ROS)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a 2D map of an environment using the GMapping SLAM algorithm in ROS1. This process is fundamental for autonomous navigation as it allows the robot to understand and represent its surroundings. 📝 Requirements – ROS1 installed (e.g., Noetic) – `slam_gmapping` package – Simulated robot with LIDAR sensor (e.g., […]
Navigation with move_base and AMCL (ROS)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to autonomously navigate a mobile robot in ROS1 using the `move_base` package for path planning and `amcl` for probabilistic localization on a prebuilt map. We will use a simulated robot (e.g., TurtleBot3) with a map previously generated using SLAM. 📝 Required components ROS1 installed (e.g., Noetic on Ubuntu […]
