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 […]
ROS vs ROS 2: What’s the Difference, Which One to Use
If you’re working in robotics — or thinking about it — chances are you’ve come across ROS and ROS 2. These are two of the most widely used open-source frameworks for building, controlling, and connecting complex robots.But what’s the real difference between the two? And which one should you choose today? 📖 How ROS and […]
How to create a ROS2 Workspace
If you’re getting started with ROS 2 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, one of the very first things you’ll need to do is create a workspace. A workspace is simply a folder where you keep all your ROS 2 packages, build them, and manage your development environment. In this guide, we’ll walk through — step by […]
How to Completely Uninstall ROS2 from Ubuntu
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to completely uninstalling ROS2 from an Ubuntu system. It is intended for systems where ROS2 was installed via apt using the official binary installation method. Whether the goal is to switch to a different ROS2 distribution, reinstall from source, or simply remove ROS2 to clean up the development environment, […]
Installing ROS 2 Jazzy on Ubuntu 24.04: Step-by-Step Tutorial
If you’ve recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 and are ready to start working with robotics software, one of the first tools you’ll want to set up is ROS 2 Jazzy. This is the latest official version of the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) tailored for Ubuntu 24.04. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to […]
