Description

This is a continuing project and my current work as a research assistant at CETYS University under the supervisión of Ph.D. Ulises Orozco Rosas. It consists of working and doing research in different fields with the Turtlebot 2 with a Jetson TX2 ROS Melodic.

My contribution to the project was:

  • Initial setup with the Jetson TX2 and Turtlebot2 and the sensors (LiDAR, RGB-D Camera)
  • Design mechanical fixtures with CAD software for 3D printing
  • Applying different implementations of path planning algorithms and a PID controller from scratch
  • Develop various ROS and NVIDIA Jetson TX2 guides for future reference and to track research

Additional comments:

Due to COVID-19, this project was on hold from May 2020 until August 2022. So unfortunately I wasn't able to have a lot of fun with it or research more with the actual robot during that period of time.
