Welcome to the icclab_turtlebot wiki!

This repository is a ROS package for TurtleBots. Most of the launch files, scripts, and parameters are modified files from other ROS packages such as turtlebot and turtlebot3.

Below is the list of branches:

• kinetic: this branch is for your local machine (not the robot) to view turtlebot operation, and to test launch files/scripts in simulation with Gazebo.
• turtlebot2
• turtlebot3

Branch: turtlebot2

The following wiki pages are related to TurtleBot2:

• TurtleBot2 Build
• TurtleBot2 Package
• Kobuki Power

This branch contains all the files required for the bring up of the TurtleBot 2 and the navigation stack. Original files come from https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot and https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_apps/tree/indigo/turtlebot_navigation

Branch: turtlebot3

  roslaunch icclab_turtlebot minimal_amcl.launch launch_map_server:=false
  

• slam with gmapping

  roslaunch icclab_turtlebot minimal_exploration.launch launch_gmapping:=true
