Robot Map Converters
Supervisor: Dr Gautham Das
What you will be doing
This project will develop different scripts to convert from a map representation to another, to improve inter-operability of different map representations enabling wider validation of algorithms in multiple map representations. For example, OpenRMF’s topological map representation also contains Gazebo world element definitions. This map could be converted to L-CAS’s topological map representations along with a gazebo world file. Using this convertion, an algorithm implemented for OpenRMF could be easily tested on L-CAS’s topological representation.
What skills would be useful to have for this project
- ROS2
- Python/C++
- Linux
- Basic understanding of networking
