Obstacle Avoidance with Thymio and ROS

2019/05

We modeled a Thymio robot in URDF, implemented velocity control and obtacle avoidance in scope of ROS.

This is a small project done in scope of Robotics practicals course. It was the first time I used the ROS to control a robot in Gazebo simulation. The project included robot URDF modeling, PID regulation for velocity control and implementation of an arbitrary algorithm for obstacle avoidance.
