IE_MARS_ROVER
This repository contains all the files needed to simulate and build the IE_Mars Rover, a six wheeled Mars Rover robot, using Gazebo and ROS. The software runs on ROS noetic and Ubuntu 20.04. So just be careful with the version of Ubuntu before installing it.
First you have to install Ubuntu 20.04 either on a virtual machine or else you can also duel boot. Then after the installation of Ubuntu 20.04 we need to follow the instructions given in ROS noetic website and finish our installation.
Then after installing both Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS noetic we can try running a sample file in Gazebo.
Now we are finished with the installation part.
A IE SIGHT rover is a humungous project developed to explore the Martian surface to perform various activities and tasks such as sample collection ,search for life ,study of terrain and weather etc. Research has been done on various different rover designs and comparisons will be made between different designs for different parts of the rover .A basic design has been made and its working will be studied .The designs were then be simulated to understand the motion of the rover . Various detectors has been used for the rover to detect the environment, be able to detect obstacles and move across rough terrains. Although only a conceptual design, our presentation summarizes of all required design parameters for future rover development.
