** Visit my brand new portal at tiziano-school.thinkific.com where you can find this ROS series as a FREE course **
Let's write our first OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE algorithm, using ROS Kinetic, a Raspberry Pi and our Donkey Car. Thanks to 3 cheap sonar sensors we define new nodes for creating an obstacle avoidance action, to be fused with the controls coming from our laptop.
*** Propose your own algorithm and be part of my next shout out! **
*** This is a ROS tutorial series for beginners that uses a Raspberry Pi and a cheap RC Car ***
** You can find all the previous episodes here: youtube.com/watch?v=N6K2LWG2kRI&list=PLuteWQUGtU9BU0sQIVqRQa24p-pSBCYNv
** Watch the setup episode here: youtu.be/iLiI_IRedhI
*** Skip to the scene:
1:07 - How to connect the sonar to a Raspberry Pi
1:30 - How does the sonar work
2:12 - Main Algorithm explained
3:29 - ROS architecture
4:30 - Coding
7:00 - Sonar test
8:13 - Final testing
