USRC Simulated Robotics Tutorial

What's in this tutorial?

  1. Using Docker and Gazebo to set up a virtual robotics environment
  2. Controlling a robot using ROS
  3. Creating a robot using URDF/SDF files
  4. Combining OpenCV and Gazebo

Prerequisites

  1. Knowing how to open a terminal on your base operating system
  2. Knowing what cd is in a terminal and how to use it.

Why this tutorial?

Other tutorials e.g. ROS, Gazebo tutorials assume that you know what linux is and have a linux system ready.

This tutorial is built so that you can run everything in the tutorials on your Windows / Mac device, and follow along.

Also, it's more "Wow, cool!" with a little bit of "This is how you do actual work" than the other tutorials which assume you have some experience in real robotics.

Challenges for Tutorial Series

If you're doing the USRC Tutorial Series, check out the "USRC Weekly Workshops" section in the README for each workshop to find the corresponding challenge.

Future things

  • Create a tutorial that integrates STL files and urdf files.
  • Create a tutorial for xacro files instead of urdf files.
