Autonomous Navigation of vrep quadcopter

Post by Arisha »

Hello,
I am currently working on a VREP scene that consist of a quad copter with laser scanner mounted. I have successfully build map using hector slam. Now i want to perform autonomous navigation on map and path planning for simulated quad copter in VREP. I searched for navigation stack but could not find proper way to implement navigation stack for quad copter in VREP. I need guidelines on how can i implement navigation for VREP and ROS. Kindly help me in this regard.
P.S I am very new vrep and ROS

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arisha,

with V-REP and the RosInterface plugin you can publish robot's location and point clouds to ROS (as well as any other type of information required to simulate your UAV).

You said you succeeded to create a map using hector slam, so you've got most of the stuff working.
I don't know any ROS navigation stack specific to UAVs, but your question looks like a question about ROS, not V-REP.

Have a look at:
