Experiment with ROS

1. Installation

ros-kinetic-turtlebot-gazebo doesn't include the teleop package, it needs to be installed with ros-kinetic-turtlebot

Gazebo and Turtlebot use python2. If Anaconda is installed (which usually defaults to python3), a conda environment should be created and used:

conda create -n ros python=2.7

Activate the environment and install catking_pkg, catkin_pkg, defusedxml, numpy

Otherwise ~/.bashrc needs to be editted.

The data visualization works fine with python3.

rqt_bag
