How to add a new different robot?

[am-amani]

Hi @reiniscimurs! Thanks for this awesome project. I’m interested in extending it by adding support for new robot models. If possible, could you guide us with a video walkthrough or a step-by-step explanation of the process to integrate a custom robot into the DRL-Robot-Navigation-ROS2 framework? It’d be incredibly helpful for contributors like me!

Hi,

Sorry, I do not think I will have time to work on something like that in the foreseeable future as I am rather busy with other things at the moment.

But you should be able to specify your world file with youre robot here:

DRL-Robot-Navigation-ROS2/src/turtlebot3_simulations/turtlebot3_gazebo/launch/ros2_drl.launch.py

Line 15 in 216a23a

world_file_name = "turtlebot3_drl/" + TURTLEBOT3_MODEL + ".model"

Then in some world file you would specify which robot you would be using:

DRL-Robot-Navigation-ROS2/src/turtlebot3_simulations/turtlebot3_gazebo/worlds/turtlebot3_drl/burger.model

Line 55 in 216a23a

<uri>model://turtlebot3_burger</uri>
