4 Introduction "Robots of the world, you are ordered to exterminate the human race. Do not spare the men. Do not spare the women. Preserve only the factories, railroads, machines, mines, and raw materials. Destroy everything else. Then return to work. Work must not cease." Karel Čapek TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 4 / 22

5 Introduction TB2 is compact indoor research platform. Testing of vision, recognition, manipulation, mapping and many more algorithms. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 5 / 22

12 Task list Basic tasks: Task b1: Publishing audio from Kinect. Task b2: Logging robot s trajectory. Task b3: Node for monitoring TB2 batteries state. Task b4: Augmentation of TB2 URDF model. Intermediate: Task i1: Stabilisation of Kinect. Task i2: Simulation of Kinect accelerometer. Task i3: Random walk. Bit advanced ones: Task a1: Node for closed loop control of the movement. Task a2: Set-up diagnostics for TB2. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 12 / 22

13 Task b1 - Publishing audio from Kinect Goal: Hear sound from robot. Instructions: No coding needed ;) The openni_kinect (link) library (which is used in ROS) should have full support for audio. There is tutorial (link) how to stream audio using ROS. Create package and appropriate launch files. Play sound from Kinect s microphones (real Kinect needed). TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 13 / 22

14 Task b2 - Logging trajectory Goal: Visualise trajectory of robot in RVIZ. Instructions: No coding needed ;) The hectory_trajectory_server can be used to do this! Create package and launch file which will run trajectory logging. Demonstrate functionality with simulated or real robot. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 14 / 22

15 Task b3 - Monitoring batteries Goal: Monitor state of robot s batteries using ROS. Instructions: Install some serial terminal program (e.g. cutecom), connect to real robot and open /dev/ttyusb3 (19200 baud). You should receive strings like this: #BS : 16,5V, BA: 16,6V, BR: 13,5V Where BS means sensors, BA arm and BR robot s battery voltage. Create package and code which will parse this string and publish it somehow (tip for format). TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 15 / 22

16 Task b5 - Augmentation of TB2 URDF model. Goal: Make TB2 model more realistic. Instructions: No programming needed! Just some URDF hacking... Try to replace the big blue box on back of TB2 with more parts which will look more realistic. Visualise augmented model using RVIZ. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 16 / 22

17 Task i1 - Kinect stabilisation Goal: Kinect is horizontally stabilised. Instructions: Kinect has integrated accelerometer. There is driver for it: kinect_aux. Prepare launch file which will start this driver. Prepare package and code which will send commands to Kinect s servo to stabilise it (look at kinect_servo.py in btb_dynamixel). Driver produces /cur_tilt_angle topic which should be quite easy to use (just one number - angle). Test it on real robot (simulated Kinect has no accelerometer).

18 Task i2 - Simulation of accelerometer Goal: Simulated IMU acts as Kinect s accelerometer. Instructions: Find how to add simulated IMU to some link (look at gazebo.urdf.xacro from btb_description, line 51). Inspect what is format of IMU data and write node, which will convert it to same format, which is produced by kinect_aux as /cur_tilt_angle. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 18 / 22

19 Task i3 - Random walk Goal: Robot is randomly wandering in it s environment. Instructions: Create package, launch file and code which will subscribe to laser scan data. With laser scan, task could be to rotate robot on place and go straight ahead. Commands are send to /cmd_vel topic (type Twist). Test it with simulated or real robot.

20 Task a1 - Closed loop control Goal: Robot going straight ahead! Instructions: Robot is accepting velocity commands. But - wheels may lost friction etc. and then robot is not going straight ahead even if commanded angular velocity is equal to zero. From IMU, we can obtain current heading angle of robot. Task is to create node, which will try to regulate angular speed of robot in such way it will go straight ahead. Test on simulated robot and then on the real one.

21 Task a2 - Diagnostics Goal: Be able to monitor some important value. Instructions: There is diagnostics stack which is widely used for diagnostic purposes. Try to setup diagnostics for monitoring robot s computer state (CPU usage / battery etc) - look into turtlebot_node package (laptop_battery.py). Example configuration of diagnostics could be found in turtlebot_bringup package. Visualise it using robot_monitor. TurtleBot2&ROS - Learning TB2 21 / 22
