Assets for the exercises

This catkin workspace contains the assets needed to run the exercises. The evolutionary_robotics package contains all those assets. The directory consists of 3 sub-directories:

• launch contains the launch files for the exercise. The launch file from an exercise is linked to a file here that runs the exercise.

• models contains the models used in the exercise.

• worlds contains the world files for the exercise. The launch files run the simulation from the world files.

Summary of changes

The following headings describe the summary of changes and additions to the JdeRobot/assets:

Launch

• obstacle_avoidance.launch runs empty_world.launch and includes the world file obstacle_avoidance.world

Worlds

• obstacle_avoidance.world contains the world representation of the obstacle avoidance exercise. The file includes sun, ground_plane_transparent, roombaIR and cage models.

Models

• roombaIR contains the Roomba robot with 8 IR sensors fitted accross it. The file is an edited version of roombaROS where the Hokuyo Laser sensor is removed and Sonar sensors are added.

• cage contains the environment where the robot is to be trained. It consists of 4 rectangular walls, within which the robot can be placed.
