Laser Readings

I am attempting to create a program to avoid obstacles. I first bring up the docker containers for the ROSbot2R from Husarion supplied containers as you can see in my terminal output.

Further planning wants me to take a look at the laser outputs to determine forward facing collision cone indexes. I am a little shocked and surprised at what my echo of the scan output shows. I’m an expert but I don’t believe I know how to interpret the readings. Shouldn’t they be continuous?

I also show the terminal output of the scan. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My ROSbot2R is sitting on a table within close proximity to an object in front of it and to it’s left. Open space behind and to the right.

The first image is from the real robot. The second image is from the simulation. Striking difference made me stand up and notice.

Hello @Joe_Worthit

how do you launch this example with “real” robot?

Best regards
Jan Brzyk

      docker compose -f compose.rosbot.yaml up

From the rosbot-mapping directory on the “real” robot, I entered the command and it produced the output described above.

Pulled from rosbot-mapping. Unfortunately, no modifications were made. Just ran it. I accepted the result as being normal. Navigating was difficult. It looked like the “real” robot couldn’t find the goal. Now I know why.

FIRMWARE

docker stop rosbot microros || true && docker run --rm -it --privileged husarion/rosbot:humble-22-12-08 /flash-firmware.py /root/firmware.bin

Hello @Joe_Worthit,

try to modify the .env file with nano .env being in rosbot-mapping directory.

  1. Comment this line: RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_fastrtps_cpp

  2. Uncomment this line: # RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp

  3. If you use sync_with_rosbot.sh script the changes will be also done in ROSbot’s .env file. But (according to its content) you will also have to run export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp in the ROSbot terminal

Then the problem should be solved. rosbot-navigation should behave better also with this change.

Best regards
Jan Brzyk

Thanks for your suggestion. I made the edits to the .env file and used the sync script. Ensured export on the ROSbot2R. Ensured the .env file matched.
The resulting launch generated the same output. Rviz had no change and the majority of the scan readings are still inf.

Please, make sure that the RMW_IMPLEMENTATION variable is set properly on both PC and ROSbot.

echo $RMW_IMPLEMENTATION

Best regards
Jan Brzyk

Yeah, well I certainly did that before I replied. Thanks for all your support but I guess we just couldn’t get it to work. I must sell it here or on eBay.

I had a nice chat with the AI on openai.com(GPT3). The AI concluded my scan parameters are likely at fault. The recommendation is to ensure the parameters are set correctly.

I am assuming these scan parameters are built in to the docker service for rplidar in a the configuration file it uses but, I don’t know how to check or modify them. I can’t seem to get the sllidar_ros2 to run without a bunch of statically defined parameters not being initialized. So much for THAT code.

Perhaps I should chat with my AI friend about Husarion ROSbot2R robots. I was impressed and feel I haven’t scratched the surface of it’s knowledge. It takes clever questions to get the answers you need. Cool!

Actually, the AI never heard of Husarion or ROSbot2R. The Turtlebot4 from ClearPath Robotics looks interesting. Perhaps it works. My problem appears to have been abandoned here. My training is now up to patrolling the house with behavior trees. My book simulation works so I continue without a real ROSbot2R and I can’t seem to get any Rosbot simulations to compile, let alone work. Good Luck Folks!!

I will try to get closer to your problem with laser readings and the lidar. I will let you know as soon as I have any conslusions.

Best regards
Jan Brzyk
