Creating a simple Robotic Model using ROS (Robot Operating Systems)

Pre-requisites

This project was done using ROS Noetic on Ubuntu.

The Robot model

How to run?

Clone the repository inside the src folder of your catkin_ws (source folder of your catkin workspace).

The repo can be cloned using the following commands in the terminal.

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone /~https://github.com/DeepthiSudharsan/waiterbot.git

You can also download the zip file and extract it in the source folder.

Then, we do catkin_make

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make

To run the robot model, run the commands given below

. devel/setup.bash
roslaunch waiterbot display.launch

Voila, you get the waiterbot in your rviz window along with a pop-up gui for controlling the robot movement!
