Lab 1

This document provides instructions for a ROS lab assignment on cyber physical systems. The objectives are to build a simulation world and map in Gazebo, and write a simple ROS publisher and subscriber in Python. Students are instructed to install ROS packages for controlling and simulating a robot in Gazebo, build the simulation environment, create a map of the environment, and write a Python node to publish velocity commands. Screenshots and code are required for the report.

Objective: Simple understanding of ROS: ROS is
the publish/subscribe middle-ware itself

Tasks:
 Build a simulation world and build a map based on it (group)
 Write a simple publisher and subscriber with python (individual)

Tests:
• Load the robot model in simulation, create
your own simulation environment, put the
screenshot in your report. (Group Report)
• Scan the map of your created environment in
simulation, put the screenshot in your report.
(Group Report)
• Control the robot to follow a circle in the
simulation environment. (Group Report)
• Drive your turtle and hkurobot to draw a “9”
as shown on the right. (Individual Report)
(Tips: you can change the value of msg.linear.x and
msg.angular.z to drive your turtle)
Assignment:
◼ Write a report after class to finish your group report and answer
the following questions individually:
• Take “hkubot” as an example to describe the working process of
ROS.
• Control the “hkubot” to draw “9” in the simulation environment,
with codes and screenshots in your report.
• Explain how you realize the publisher and subscriber in this
experiment.
• Please present a method to transmit the real-time position/velocity
data of the hkubot to another program running in your computer.17
