Code in this repo is about the decentralized car-like robotic swarm in a simulation environment. Due to the authority, we replace the Carla map with a simple environment, where the MPC controller is also removed.

All the Simulations are conducted in the Linux environment on a PC equipped with an Intel Core i7-10700 CPU and a GeForce RTX 3070 GPU.
Our software is developed and tested in Ubuntu 20.04 with ROS installed.
Attention! Map generator in this source code requires a higher version of python3, hence we do not recommend using Ubuntu 18 since the default version of python is python2.
- Create an empty new workspace and clone this repository to your workspace:
git clone https://github.com/ZJU-FAST-Lab/Car-like-Robotic-swarm.git
cd Car-like-Robotic-swarm
- Compile it.
catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
Attention! When compiling, be sure to use release mode!(Just follow the above command)
source devel/setup.bash
Then, run the command:
roslaunch traj_planner swarm.launch
Wait for about 2 seconds until the global map comes out.
Then, you can click the 2D Nav Goal at anywhere in RVIZ to trigger the planning.
Here is an example:
Tip: We recommend developers to use rosmon to replace the roslaunch since rosmon is more friendly to mulit-robot systems.
Please refer to swarm formation for more details of rosmon.
