- remove tf dependencies and included tf2 similar to costmap2D and ros nav core packages.
- makes on Melodic and further
The mission of the project is to build an agricultural robot (AgriBot) from scratch with the aim of serving as a data-recording platform in fields. For further information about the design and purpose of the robot, please follow the About the AgriBot Project page
For easily bringing up the robot and recording data refer to Easy bring up & Record Data which provides step-by-step instructions to run the robot.
- Easy Bring up & Record Data : Instructions for running the robot and recording the sensor data to a bagfile.
- AgriBot Software : Details about different packages written for the platform like navigation, localization, base controller, etc.
- Mechanical Design : Detail about how mechanical structure has been designed and improved during the project time.
- Electrical Design : Electrical schematics and descriptions about connections and wiring protocols used in the robot.
- Debug: Debug procedures for common problems.
