RoboCup2021 Rescue Simulation Virtual Robot League

!! THIS PAGE IS INITIAL VERSION !!

This repository includes a robot model and field models used in RoboCup World Champion Ship 2021 Rescue Simulation Virtual Robot League(RC2021RVRL).
In 2021, we will have the competition remotely, so we are preparing the competition environment with the Construct's cloud virtual computing service "the ROSject (the ROS Deveropment Studio)".
You can find the detailed documents of the RC2021RVRL game in wiki page of this repository. And you can find important information like the latest rule in the rescue virtual robot league wiki page.

INSTALLATION BASICS

You can install Ros(Melodic), Gazebo 9, necessary packages by the following command using the ubuntu 18.04:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'   
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116   
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-latest.list'   
$ wget http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -     
$ sudo apt-get update   
$ sudo apt-get install -y cmake g++ protobuf-compiler pavucontrol gazebo9-plugin-base libgazebo9 libgazebo9-dev ros-melodic-desktop  ros-melodic-ros-control ros-melodic-ros-controllers ros-melodic-image-view2 ros-melodic-rqt ros-melodic-rqt-common-plugins ros-melodic-joy ros-melodic-teleop-twist-keyboard ros-melodic-message-to-tf ros-melodic-tf2-geometry-msgs ros-melodic-audio-common ros-melodic-costmap-2d ros-melodic-image-transport ros-melodic-image-transport-plugins ros-melodic-hector-mapping ros-melodic-hector-geotiff 
$ sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-hector-sensors-description ros-melodic-controller-manager ros-melodic-gmapping ros-melodic-move-base ros-melodic-hector-mapping ros-melodic-gazebo9*

SETUP THE NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Check the network folder and setup your computer based on the corresponding files.

SETUP THE SERVER PROGRAM

Download this repo. and some additional hector packages.

$ git clone https://github.com/RoboCupRescueVirtualRobotLeague/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo/src  
$ rosinstall src /opt/ros/melodic  

Remove a conflicting package.

$ yes | \rm -r src/hector_gazebo/hector_gazebo_thermal_camera

Finally, compile them.

$ catkin_make  

RUN THE SERVER PROGRAM

Launch the gazebo server and robots.
Select one launch file from following descriptions.
And do next sequence with your selected launch file.
Then goto the next section "CHECK THE INSTALLATION".

At terminal 1:  

$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ . setup.bash  
$ roslaunch rvrl_setup YOU_SELECTED_ONE.launch  

Pre liminary 1 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 1)

• pre1-1_{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

Pre liminary 2 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 1)

• pre1-2_{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

Pre liminary 3 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 2)

• pre2-1_{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

Pre liminary 4 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 2)

• pre2-2_{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

Semi Final 1 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 3)

• semi-1-{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

• two-levels.launch
  This is a practice field for the slope.

Semi Final 2 (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 3)

• semi-2-{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

Final (Sample world from RVRL2019: Day 4)

• final-1-{ atr | eslam | mrl }.launch
  Three launch files are same except robot names.
  Those robot names are changed for the each team programs.

CHECK THE INSTALLATION

Run the sample robot controller.
Before tring below, you should check the robot name by using 'rostopic list'.

For wheel robots

At terminal 2:  

$ rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py cmd_vel:=/robot1/cmd_vel  

For quadrotor robot

At terminal 2:  

$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ . setup.bash  
$ roslaunch hector_quadrotor_teleop logitech_gamepad.launch robot:=robot1  
(Push button4, to start motors)  

For crawler robot

At terminal 2:  

$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ . setup.bash  
$ roslaunch rvrl_setup sample_joy_and_teleop_crawler.launch gc_bsgp1601:=true robot_name:=robot1  
(You can select your game controller from 4 types, details in the launch file.)  

For centaur robot

At terminal 2:  

$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ . setup.bash  
$ roslaunch rvrl_setup sample_centaur_joint_trajectory.launch robot_name:=robot5  

At terminal 3:  

$ rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py cmd_vel:=/robot5/cmd_vel  

For finding robots in a huge field

Waiting for finishing spawning all robots, run the next script.
You can see each robot name in large font size.

At another terminal:  

$ cd ~/RoboCup2021RVRL_Demo  
$ . robot_marker_on
