An autonomous museum-guide robot in ROS2 Jazzy — senses obstacles, avoids walls, and drives itself through the museum.
A beginner ROS2 (Jazzy) stack that autonomously guides a differential-drive robot through a simulated museum. It senses obstacles with a LiDAR, decides a direction based on configurable thresholds, drives the base, broadcasts its pose into TF, and publishes its full traced path — with five operating modes selectable at launch time.
Clone into the src directory of your colcon workspace (e.g. ~/ros2_ws), install
the declared dependencies, then build and launch:
# Clone into your workspace's src/
cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone <repo-url> museum_guide
# Install the ROS2 packages this stack depends on
cd ~/ros2_ws
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
# Build, source, and launch
colcon build --symlink-install
source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch museum_guidePick a mode at launch time by pointing params_file at one of the config
YAMLs:
ros2 launch museum_guide bringup.launch.py \
params_file:=$(ros2 pkg prefix museum_guide)/share/museum_guide/config/cautious_tour.yamlAvailable modes: standard_guide, cautious_tour, after_hours,
crowded_gallery, agile_demo — one config/*.yaml each.
