In Chapter 4, we created our first Gazebo simulation of the rover. We manually drove the rover around the empty environment. We used URDF files to define what our rover looked like and the launch files to define the rover controls in the Gazebo environment. Now we want to add sensors so that the rover can “see” obstacles. Unfortunately, the ...
