Comment on Gazebo Tutorial

When initializing Gazebo, one should run the gzserver comment, however, this can result in a malfunctioning program, i.e. you will get the following message: Segmentation fault (core dumped). The solution for this is to run Gazebo in debugging mode (gdb):

  1. Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
  2. Run:
    gdb /usr/bin/gzserver
    when (gbd) is shown, type run and <enter>
  3. Open another terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
  4. Run:
    gdb /usr/bin/gzclient
    when (gbd) is shown, type run and <enter>

Comment on running Rviz

Simular to the Gazebo tutorial, the command rosrun pico_visualization rviz can also result in an error: Segmentation fault (core dumped). Hereto, the solution is to run Rviz in debugging mode:

  1. Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
  2. Run:
    gdb /opt/ros/groovy/lib/rviz/rviz
    when (gbd) is shown, type run and <enter>

Moreover, in order for the camera to work properly, in the Displays view on the left change the Fixed Frame.

Corridor detection First a horizon R is being set. Every value r(i) > R is being replaced by r(i) = -R. This can be seen in the figure below.
