WALL-E

WALL-E@PLAYER-STAGE

While going through the stage installations files, I found a walle include file at Stage-3.2.0-Source/worlds/walle.inc.

Marrying walle.inc file with the 'usual'
simple.world, simple.cfg and sick.inc files I got wall-e to move around in the 'caves' environment !





Somehow this appealed to the child in me ! :)

Hi Prithvi

I am happy to know that you found my article worthwhile.

I have worked on vfh, wavefront and mricp. mricp gives real time results, but pretty ugly maps :(. All the details of these files (vfh, wavefront, mricp and amcl) and their usages are in the Player and Stage installation files.

Best of luck

1)For vhf : see stage-3.2.0/worlds/vfh.cfg
2)For wavefront : see stage-3.2.0/worlds/wavefront.cfg
Both these cfg files can be made to work with the default 'simple' example.

3)For mricp : player/server/driver/mixed , however the mricp files are outdated and you will have to make your own.

4)For amcl : never used it !

Any more problems send me an e-mail.

Hi Prithvi

Would you wish to contribute to this blog. It may be wonderful if you could put in screenshots with write-ups of your results ?

If you are okay, then do inform me. I will send you an 'author' invitation.
