+# Andino Apps
+
+This package contains integration applications with the Andino robot.
+
+# Applications
+
+## Gazebo classic simulation + Nav2
+
+A launch file for running the andino_gz_classic simulation and the Nav 2 stack is provided.
+It uses the [turtlebot3_world](https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations/tree/master) world (_Apache 2 license_) by default.
+
+```
+ ros2 launch andino_apps andino_simulation_navigation.launch.py
+```
+
+To visualize and interact with the Andino robot in RViz:
+
+- Click in 2D pose estimate button and select the initial pose of the robot
+- Click in Nav2 Goal button and select the final point.
+- The robot will start to move to the selected goal.
+
+![Rviz_example_Nav2](docs/Rviz_example_Nav2.gif)
+
+For further information and examples you can check the [Nav2 tutorials](https://navigation.ros.org/tutorials/index.html).
+
+This package has been tested with the Andino robot with `diff drive plugin` in Gazebo-classic.
+
+By changing the world file, make sure to also change map file. Further navigation [parameters](params/nav2_params.yaml) tunning is recommended.

 # Usage
 
-## Real Robot
+## Prerequisites
+  1. Run the mobility stack in a real Andino robot or a simulated one:
 
-### Prerequisites
+_Real robot_
+```
+ros2 launch andino_bringup andino_robot.launch.py
+```
 
-1. Andino robot needs to be up and running:
-  ```sh
-  ros2 launch andino_bringup andino_robot.launch.py
-  ```
+_Example with Gazebo Classic_
+```
+ros2 launch andino_gz_classic andino_one_robot.launch.py
+```
 
-2. We need a previously recorded map in order to navigate on.
-   Refer to [andino_slam](../andino_slam/README.md) to learn how to record a map with Andino.
+  1. Provide a recorded map. Refer to [andino_slam](../andino_slam/README.md) to learn how to record a map with Andino.
 
-### Run nav stack
+## Run Nav Stack
 
 ```sh
 ros2 launch andino_navigation bringup.launch.py map:=<path-to-my-map-yaml-file>
 ```
 
 By default, [config file](params/nav2_params.yaml) is used. For using a custom param file use:
+
 ```sh
 ros2 launch andino_navigation bringup.launch.py map:=<path-to-my-map-yaml-file> params_file:=<path-to-my-param-file>

-## Simulation
-
-A launch file for running the andino_gz_classic simulation and the nav2 stack is provided.
-It uses the [turtlebot3_world](https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations/tree/master) world (_Apache 2 license_) by default.
-
-```
- ros2 launch andino_navigation andino_simulation_navigation.launch.py
-```
-
-To test the navigation inside rviz:
-
-- click in 2D pose estimate button and select the initial pose of the robot
-- click in nav2 Goal button and select the final point.
-- the robot will start to move to the selected goal.
-
-You test adding obstacles inside the Gazebo simulation or use the rviz button Waypoint/ nav through Poses mode to select sequential targets.
-
-This package has been tested with the Andino robot with `diff drive plugin` in gazebo. If you change the world you should change the map but also it is recommended to tune navigation [parameters](params/nav2_params.yaml).
