File description

This bagfile is a capture of the catvehicle_neighborhood.launch file. The hardLeft.sh test is run early in the file, which allows the vehicle to move around in a circle.

This is similar to the longer catvehicle-neighborhood-hardleft.bag.tar.gz file, except the motion happens much earlier in the sequence of events.

What topics are included in this file

file

Visible to the public catvehicle-2.0.2.tar.gz

This is a major update of the CAT Vehicle Testbed simulator, that breaks most existing code due to changes of the robot name from azcar_sim to catvehicle. However, it has the benefit of making it easier to go from SWIL to HWIL with the same codebase, and not needing to remap topics.

The major changes include:

Visible to the public catvehicle.rviz.tgz

To use this file:

  • Extract the .tgz to your ~/.rviz directory
  • When you start rviz, then execute File->Open config and select catvehicle.rviz
  • Save as your default, if you expect to mostly work with the catvehicle

Visible to the public obstaclestopper-1.0.0.tgz

This naive component will sent the desired velocity to 0 m/s as soon as it thinks it is going to collide with something. Data are gathered from the front_laser_points laser sensor.

file

Visible to the public catvehicle-2.0.0.tgz

An updated and major breaking version of the catvehicle testbed, with the following updates:

  • changed the name of the robot (and therefore nearly every topic) to catvehicle, rather than azcar_sim
  • updated launch files to permit selective startup of sensors
  • additional sensors with some sensor joints permanently renamed
  • a single package, rather than a collection of packages in a workspace; therefore it should be extracted into an existing workspace
