Pick a Shell from the Tools menu and run the following commands: You should see a Gazebo window popup showing the simulation: a ROSbot in front of a wall. In the dialog that appears, select rotw5.launchunder rosbot _gazebo package. Click on the Simulations menu and then Choose launch file….PS: Please ignore the Claim your Prize! section because…well…you are late the party 🙂 Step 2: Start the Simulation and get the robot moving This post includes a summary of these instructions as well as the solution to the challenge. You should now see a notebook with detailed instructions about the challenge. This might take a few moments, please be patient. That done, open your ROSject using the Open button. Once you create an account or log in, we will copy the project to your workspace.

If you don’t have an account on the ROS Development Studio, you will need to create one. Step 1: Grab a copy of the ROS Project that contains the code for the challengeĬlick here to get your own copy of the project.

PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge series, which gives you an opportunity to win an amazing ROS Developers T-shirt! This challenge is already solved. For updates on future challenges, please stay tuned to our Twitter channel. Then, we will stop the robot so that it does not collide with the wall. We will move the robot forward until it detects there’s an obstacle (the wall) closer than 1 meter. In this post, we will see how to make a robot detect and avoid an obstacle in its front.
