This repo provides several ROS packages for Parallax Eddie Robot (for short EddieBot), where we implements 1) a basic bringup driver for controlling EddieBot; 2) EddieBot navigation stack; 3) Several room segmentation algorithm; 4) EddieBot Gazebo simulation environment; 5) EddieBot ROS-related visualization tools; 6) EddieBot indoor environment sound source localization simulator (for more information above this task, please visit HERE).

SLAM Map Building

Room Segmentation

Indoor-Environment Sound Source Localization Simulation

Several dependencies are need to be installed before using our EddieBot ROS packages. A more detailed instructions are provided in each package, a brief guideline is listed below:

• eddiebot bringup
• navigation stack
• room segmentation (optional)
• gazebo environment (optional)
• sound source localization simulation (optional)

Note: you do not have to install ALL those dependencies, just install what you need.

Here is a brief guideline for you to navigate this repo

• eddiebot implements basic driver for running EddieBot
• eddiebot_apps implements several applications of EddieBot, which includes: 1) EddieBot navigation; 2) SSL simulation; 3) Room segmentation
• eddiebot_simulator implements eddiebot gazebo simulation environment
• eddiebot_viz provides visualization tools, like rviz, for eddiebot application

Almost every package is carefully documented, you can find the installation instructions, the usage instructions, and the frequent Q&A in each individual package. Please navigate this repo and check it out.
