Project-APR

This is a ROS package that was the code submission for the show-your-skill hackathon. It is essentially a nicer looking, simplified version of my micromouse submission. "two birds, one stone".

steps for running simulation

Make sure you are using X11 as the display server and not wayland. Also disable Xserver access control with xhost +.

1. Start the container: docker compose up --build
2. Open a terminal in the container: docker exec -it apr_container bash
3. Launch the simulation in a world of your choice using roslaunch project_apr_pkg gazebo_v2.launch.
4. The robot will make a searching run followed by a return run.
5. shut the container with docker compose down.
