• AD(Autonomous Drive)

  • Trajectory follower
  • ROS / UDP communication

• SLAM

  • LeGO-LOAM - 3D SLAM algorithm using a multi channel LiDAR sensor
  • OGM-Cartographer(Google Cartographer for MORAI Robotics) - 2D SLAM algorithm using a single channel LiDAR sensor

Requirement

• ROS1 desktop-full >= melodic

• python >= 3.7

• niet

• tmux

Installation

Native Linux Environment

(only supports the Autonomous Drive example)

Basically need packages

$ sudo pip install niet
$ sudo apt install tmux

ROS interface

$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src && catkin_init_workspace
$ git clone https://github.com/MORAI-Autonomous/MORAI-RoboticsExample.git
$ touch MORAI-RoboticsExample/SLAM/LeGO-LOAM/CATKIN_IGNORE
$ touch MORAI-RoboticsExample/SLAM/ogm_cartographer/CATKIN_IGNORE
$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src -r -y
$ find -name 'requirements.txt' | xargs -L 1 sudo pip install -U -r
$ catkin_make
$ source devel/setup.bash

UDP interface

$ git clone https://github.com/MORAI-Autonomous/MORAI-RoboticsExample.git
$ cd MORAI-RoboticsExample
$ find -name 'requirements.txt' | xargs -L 1 sudo pip install -U -r

Docker

(supports all examples. Reference)

$ git clone -b docker --single-branch https://github.com/MORAI-Autonomous/MORAI-RoboticsExample.git
$ cd MORAI-RoboticsExample
$ sudo bash ./docker-install.sh

Usage

Native Linux Environment

AD with ROS

Follow this step if you want to change the trajectory.

$ roslaunch morai_standard path_maker.launch

Enjoy the example which follow the trajectory with smart cruise control.

$ roslaunch morai_standard morai_standard.launch

AD with UDP

$ cd AD/udp

Follow this step if you want to change the trajectory.

$ python3 ./path_maker.py

Enjoy the example which follow the trajectory with smart cruise control.

$ python3 ./main.py

Docker

Just follow the Easy to use - Run guide.
