4UDE & #SLAM @rosorg
Hi! This is a new video with 4UDE robot and SLAM in ROS. In this demo the robot build with SLAM algorithm a map.

Solve GVFS error #ROS ubuntu 14.04
If you have an error in your terminal with ros when you use the tab completion [rospack] Warning: error while crawling /home/$USER: boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied: “/home$USER/.gvfs” You can fix with this both of commands: $ sudo umount /home/$USER/.gvfs $ sudo rm -rf ~/.gvfs/ Thanks to ragingbit in this answer: permission-denied-gvfs

SLAM part II
Last week I wrote about problems with SLAM and odometrics measure, and next I added an upgrade to use IMU information to minimize the position error.
The first step is to fuse all data from IMU and from odometry with the Unscented Kalman filter. I have used the “robot_localization” node in ROS.

SLAM with odometry
Hi!
Many days ago I was tried the SLAM with a simulation in Gazebo. Yesterday finally I add all nodes in my robot 4UDE!
The first setup was to setup all nodes in ROS, I’ve updated the repository with all information about robot:

Robot localization and mapping
I guys!
I’m working hard to implementing a new feature for the robot 4UDE!
In this setup I’m using Gazebo to simulate my robot and all sensors available, in particular my depth sensor ASUS xtion.

ROS Gazebo and move_base
Last week I’ve tried Gazebo with ROS. Today I’ve used move_base to manual control the robot 4UDE in a particular configuration. A good tutorial to use the navigation stack is in ros wiki, but a good example to build a personal launch is in husky navigation produced from Clearpath robotics available on Read more…

4UDE in Gazebo
Hi guy’s! In the last week, I have worked with ROS and Gazebo to integrate a 3D model in Gazebo. In the first part of activity I’ve transformed the 3D model from SolidWorks to URDF file. A first tutorial is in http://wiki.ros.org/sw_urdf_exporter I’ve used the URDF Plugin converter available in sw2urdf, Read more…
