ROS探索总结（六）——使用smartcar进行仿真

转自：https://www.ncnynl.com/archives/201609/843.html

总结：

一、机器人描述文件三个：

　　机器人主体body文件：

　　gazebo属性文件：

　　主文件 smartcar.urdf：

二、启动文件smartcar_display.rviz.launch：启动节点和模拟器。

三、新增smartcar_description/config/smartcar_arbotix.yaml文件：

四、urdf.rviz文件：

cp /opt/ros/indigo/share/urdf_tutorial/rviz/urdf.rviz

1.indigo版本机器人主体文件：smartcar_description/urdf/smartcar_body.urdf.xacro

• 修改property，为xacro:property
• 修改include， 为xacro:include

2.gazebo属性部分 smartcar_description/urdf/gazebo.urdf.xacro

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<robot xmlns:controller="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#controller"   

    xmlns:interface="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#interface"

</robot>

3.主文件：smartcar_description/urdf/smartcar.urdf.xacro

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<robot name="smartcar"    

    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"  

    xmlns:gazebo="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#gz"  

    xmlns:model="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#model"  

    xmlns:sensor="http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/gazebo/xmlschema/#sensor"

  <xacro:include filename="$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar_body.urdf.xacro" />  

  <!-- Body of SmartCar, with plates, standoffs and Create (including sim sensors) -->  

  <smartcar_body/>  

  <smartcar_sim/>
</robot>

二、lanuch文件，smartcar_description/launch/smartcar_display.rviz.launch

<launch>  

    <param name="/use_sim_time" value="false" />  

    <!-- Load the URDF/Xacro model of our robot -->  

    <arg name="urdf_file" default="$(find xacro)/xacro.py '$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf.xacro'" />  

    <arg name="gui" default="false" />
    <param name="robot_description" command="$(arg urdf_file)" />
    <param name="use_gui" value="$(arg gui)"/>
    <node name="arbotix" pkg="arbotix_python" type="arbotix_driver" output="screen">
        <rosparam file="$(find smartcar_description)/config/smartcar_arbotix.yaml" command="load" />
        <param name="sim" value="true"/>
    </node>  

    <node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" >  

    </node>  

    <node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher">  

        <param name="publish_frequency" type="double" value="20.0" />  

    </node>  

     <!-- We need a static transforms for the wheels -->  

    <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_left_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /left_front_link 100" />  

    <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_right_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /right_front_link 100" />  

    <node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find smartcar_description)/urdf.rviz" />  

</launch>

4.在indigo版本里，新增smartcar_description/config/smartcar_arbotix.yaml文件，内容为：

port: /dev/ttyUSB0
baud:
rate:
sync_write: True
sync_read: True
read_rate:
write_rate: 

controllers: {
   #  Pololu motors:  cpr = 0.3888105m travel =  ticks per meter (empirical: )
   base_controller: {type: diff_controller, base_frame_id: base_link, base_width: 0.26, ticks_meter: , Kp: , Kd: , Ki: , Ko: , accel_limit: 1.0 }
}

5.urdf.rviz文件：(或者自己按照目录找到了copy过来，如果没有就先安装这个包：urdf_tutorial

$ cp /opt/ros/indigo/share/urdf_tutorial/rviz/urdf.rviz

三、仿真测试

首先运行lanuch，既可以看到rviz中的机器人：

roslaunch smartcar_description smartcar_display.rviz.launch

然后在新建终端中运行：

rostopic pub -r  /cmd_vel geometry_msgs/Twist '{linear: {x: 0.5, y: 0, z: 0}, angular: {x: 0, y: 0, z: 0.5}}'

运行结果：

如果小车跑不起来，把Global中的fixed frame改成odom，就好了
