MRSL Decomp Util ROS

A ROS wrapper for implementing DecompUtil, stacks include:

• DecompUtil: convex decomposition of free space in a cluttered environment
• decomp_ros_msgs: ROS msgs used for storing, visualizing and communicating
• decomp_ros_utils: ROS utils for interfacing with DecompUtil
• decomp_test_node: contains two example codes for testing

Compilation

Prerequisite:

• ROS(Indigo+)
• catkin_simple
• QT(4+)

If the submodule DecompUtil is not initialized yet, run following commands at first:

$ cd /PATH/TO/DecompROS
$ git submodule update --init

1) Using Catkin:

$ mv decomp_ros ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd ~/catkin_ws & catkin_make_isolated -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

2) Using Catkin Tools (Recommended):

$ mv decomp_ros ~/catkin_ws/src
$ catkin config -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cd ~/catkin_ws & catkin build

Usage

Simple test using the built-in data can be applied through following commands:

$ roscd test_node/launch
$ roslaunch rviz.launch
$ roslaunch test_path_decomp.launch
