ROS Autonomous Driving and Path Planning SLAM with TurtleBot

Course Updated to ROS NOETIC :

Rating is for OLD version of this course ( for New Comers ) , New update to projects and way of explanation is what you are going to love :)

Course Workflow:

Main robot we will be using is Turtle Bot 3 by Robotis . Package from official GitHub repository is going to obtained and then we will start to analyze how robot is launched into simulations like Rviz and Gazebo . After Going through multiple launch files we will create a custom launch file to bring the robot in to simulations . SLAM using Gmapping node will be executed for our custom created world containing MAZE . Then we will perform last project of Intruder Detection and Surveillance in which we are going to utilize Navigation stack as a main process.
