Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will make use of the code located in the Chapter9_GoPiGo_SLAM folder (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-ROS-for-Robotics-Programming/tree/master/Chapter9_GoPiGo_SLAM). Copy its files to the ROS workspace so that they're available and leave the rest outside the src folder. This way, you will have a cleaner ROS environment:

$ cp -R ~/Hands-On-ROS-for-Robotics-Programming/Chapter9_GoPiGo_SLAM ~/catkin_ws/src/

The code in the aforementioned folder contains two new ROS packages, each one located within a folder that has the same name:

  • ydlidar, the officially supported ROS package for the selected LDS.
  • gopigo3_navigation, the top-level package for performing navigation with GoPiGo3.

You will use both on the laptop environment, but in the robot that is, the Raspberry Pi you will only need ydlidar since the...
