Omnirob

Post by Stephen_Mcl »

Currently attempting to create a scene using the omnirob mobile robot in where it follows a path but unsure of how to start in this new version 4.4 in creating paths.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Hello,

the easiest is probably to do something like this:
  • modify the omnirob robot, so that it tries to follow/replicate the position/orientation of a dummy object. It is just a matter of representing the position of that dummy relative to the omnirob reference frame, i.e. ref. Once you have that, you should know how to actuate the wheels to drive towards that point
  • create a path with [Menu bar --> Add --> Path --> Open], and modify it: you can copy-paste points, shift them, rotate them, etc.
  • then have a script that makes the dummy follow the path trajectory. The easiest is to get inspiration from the demo scene scenes/movingAlongAPath.ttt
Cheers
