Filtering of Lidar (laserscan) data for the angles 0-120 deg of a custom-defined robot in Rviz and Gazebo with Lidar and camera plugin controlled with teleoperation.

Discription: 

The main additions to this repo are main a launch file (which visualizes the robot in a custom gazebo and rviz configurations) and a Python file named reading_laser reposible for reading the laser scan topic and filtering it only for DEG 0-120.

How to use it:

1. Clone the repo
2. Run the primary launch file, i.e., main using the command: ros2 launch bot_description main.launch
3. This will open a Gazebo and Rviz in custom configuration.
4. Then run the Python file reading_laser using the command: python3 reading_laser.py
5. The intended visualization of laser scan data being filtered for 0-120 deg can be seen in rviz.
