Create Your Own Robot Kit
This tutorial describes how to create an autonomous mobile robot capable of exploring and mapping an area by adding the an Intel® compute system, adding a Intel® RealSense™ camera on top of any robot base, and using the Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots software.
You can use one of these teleop methods to validate that the robot kit hardware setup was done correctly.
Hardware Requirements
The robot base should contain:
Intel® compute system with Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots installed
Intel® RealSense™ camera
Robot base support (chassis) for the Intel® compute system and the Intel® RealSense™ camera
Wheels
Motor
Motor controller
Batteries for all components
Software Requirements
The robot base should have a ROS 2 node capable of:
Publishing information from the motor controller firmware into ROS 2 topics like wheel odometry
Getting information from other ROS 2 nodes and transmitting this data to the motor controller firmware, for example, receiving movement commands from ROS 2 Navigation 2 stack on the cmd_vel topic
Providing robot specific information like the tf tree data with correct tf transformations, for example, odom and base_link and their transformations
When using multiple robots, it is useful to be able to change these names for each robot like robot1_odom and robot1_base_link (more information can be found here)
