I worked with Andy and Hojun to finalize our presentation and parts. I discovered the motion model our robot follows (differential drive) which will allow us to estimate the robot’s position and orientation when driving. I also setup Ubuntu on my laptop, relearned ROS, and followed tutorials for Gazebo which is a robot simulation software. I was able to visualize the point cloud returned from a Gazebo’s kinect sensor using ROS. I was also able to find an iRobot model in Gazebo and was able to send it velocity commands through ROS. I also ordered the iRobot and jetson from the past projects inventory which should be available on Monday.
