MuSHR project in France #104

Here is our platform composed of 4 MuSHR. Number 2 has a motor with encoder and number 3 has a RealSense T265 to explore the differences of SLAM.
We also have a small modular arena to carry out tests in real conditions on the SLAM and autonomous navigation. Here is an example of what we were able to achieve using RTAB-Map : carto-arene.mp4We were able to implement autonomous navigation on ROS Melodic both in simulation and physically. Moreover, we have delved into the realm of multi-agent simulations, meticulously following and adapting tutorials to suit our specific goals. A question arises: could these simulations be extended to physical implementations? Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. We have also improved the performance of MuSHR by starting a migration to a Jetson Orin Nano. We will be sharing a comprehensive installation procedure in an upcoming post, providing a detailed guide for those interested in replicating our setup. |

Hi Maxime, and hello to the rest of the team! This looks amazing! We are very happy to see visual odometry actually being used on the MuSHR and would love to read any reports you have on this (we read the one from before, curious if there is a new one with any interesting findings). As for the safety button; I think it may have been disabled from within the code, as there is already a "dead man's switch" on the controller to address this. As for contributing to the tutorials, yes, we should be able to let you contribute a tutorial! It is however recommended that you test that tutorial internally with undergrads who have little to no prior knowledge of robotics; the expectation from a tutorial is usually that the user should be able to follow through without hassle. As for the Orin Nano migration; that sounds good! We are currently working on a docker that can work across all orin modules, so perhaps it would be good to wait and contribute to that instead. We're extremely happy to see these experiments and demos. |

Our goal is to implement these robots to evaluate SLAM-VI RTAB-Map algorithms as suggested here and collaborative navigation algorithms like Halmitonian [1].
We thank you for the tutorials provided, they are well structured and allowed us to quickly make the prototype functional.
Currently we have a small problem with the push button, indeed we have done a complete installation by hand and we have an error when launching the teleop Issue #103.
So we installed the image of the MuSHR provided here we no longer have error messages however it remains non-functional.
We will present in a future post the four MuSHR as well as examples of implementation.
Finally we would like to know if a contribution for a tutorial on RTAB-Map would be possible.
