This repository contains a number of Gazebo world definitions that can be used for testing the SCUTTLE robot in a virtual world. It is assumed that you have at least the following ROS packages:

• scuttle_description - Contains the geometric description of the SCUTTLE robot for ROS to work with.
• scuttle_bringup - Contains a launch file that will create all the ROS nodes required for SCUTTLE to function

The following world files are available in order of complexity.

A room with 4 walls. Scuttle will be placed in the middle of the room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_empty_room.launch

A set of 4 adjacent rooms with a corridor. Scuttle will be placed in the middle of the biggest room. Started by giving the following command

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_room_with_walls_1.launch

A set of 4 adjacent rooms with a corridor. Scuttle will be placed in the middle of the biggest room. Started by giving the following command

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_room_with_walls_2.launch

A room in the shape of a star with some internal walls. Scuttle will be placed in the middle of the room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_star_room_with_walls.launch

A room with a number of moving objects. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_dynamic_room.launch

A set of 3 adjacent rooms. Scuttle will be placed in one of the outer most room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_experiment_room_1.launch

A set of 3 adjacent rooms similar to experiment room 1 but with added obstacles. Scuttle will be placed in one of the outer most room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_experiment_room_2.launch

A set of 3 adjacent rooms similar to experiment room 2 but with more obstacles. Scuttle will be placed in one of the outer most room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_experiment_room_3.launch

A set of 3 adjacent rooms similar to experiment room 3 but with more obstacles. Scuttle will be placed in one of the outer most room. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_experiment_room_4.launch

A set of 6 adjacent rooms with a corridor. The rooms and the corridor are filled with obstacles of different shape and size. Scuttle is placed in the middle of the corridor. Some of the gaps between the obstacles are probably too small for scuttle to navigate. Started by giving the following command:

roslaunch scuttle_gazebo scuttle_random_room.launch
