For this assignment, you should upgrade the "lidar_alarm.cpp" code in the
provided "lidar_alarm" package to make it smarter.
Instead of relying on only a single "ping" to detect obstacles in the robot's path,
it should examine an entire "corridor".
Run your revised lidar_alarm node together with the STDR simulator and a
reactive motion commander. At a minimum you can use the
"reactive_commander.cpp" in the provided "stdr_control" package. Better still,
you could (optionally) make this commander more intelligent (or at least more
interesting).
Deliverables
- Your code, in package form, with CMakeLists.txt, package.xml, and source in
a ROS package form (Do NOT just submit the CPP file!)
- A brief report describing your theory of operation (your algorithm's logic
for lidar_alarm, and, optionally, reactive_commander)
- a Kazaam movie (*.mp4) of your nodes running the STDR simulator (or
youtube link to it)
- a link to your github repository with your source code
Please ZIP all of these things up in a folder titled "ps2_caseID.zip" (ex.
ps2_abc123.zip)
