Hello! Your project is very interesting, and your videos are very informative! Do you have a github for this project with the urdf for the tank? I am interested in trying something the same
I have a couple of github repositories for this github.com/somervda/ourbotmanager_ros and github.com/somervda/ourBotManager_uController. I haven't looked at them for a while. Good luck with your project.
I want to add a lidar to a abb robot arm manipulator. I have the simulation for the robot arm in ros2 humble gazebo and moveit. How do I proceed by adding a lidar to the tip of the robot arm.
Thanks for the video! I was looking at lidar implementation in gazebo simulation and was able to visualize laser_scan in rviz. The only problem is that it shows 2D/ planar information. But when you work with real robots in real environment, you would require vertical lasers/ scan information as well. Can you please suggest how to get that information? Some blogs say converting laser_scan to point cloud2 but that is converting 2D to 3D. How can you even convert 2D data to 3D without knowing the vertical information? If we don't set data for vertical part in point cloud, it still remains a 2D information. Please help.
Hi Dev, Thanks for the question, but this is about as far as I got with lidar and I only got 2D data . From what I saw, the lidar information is mostly used for navigation however I can see where a 3D representation could be useful in other environment like flying drones. In my case (slow robot used around the house) I would probably just add some basic sensors for obstacle avoidance, for example avoiding low tables. I guess another option would be to add a camera (or stereo cameras) to better understand the 3D layout of the environment.
can you do a typing walk through of installing the SDK. I keep getting the same error messages : no such file or directory after inputting YDLidar-SDK/build
Sorry Vincent, Its been a couple of years since I did this so can't help much. Only suggestion would be to check file folder permissions seeing we are probably in the linux world.

Great!
Thanks. I was worried I wouldn't work out all the USB and Lidar parameters when doing this :)
really helpfull video thanks
Thanks Akshay. I hope to get one more video done on using SLAM and Lidar.

Love it.. Just what I was looking for. Trying to develop a robot pet that is autonomous as possible... Thanks. Subbed here!
Thanks for the sub!

Sorry, I kind of stopped working of the robot at this point, so cant help you.

@@LupinCorp01 I appreciate it thanks. Would you happen to still have the files for the support and base plate that you made for the Lidar?
