YOUBOT Tutorials
ROS Indigo: http://www.youbot-store.com/wiki/index.php/Gazebo_simulation Since no pre-compiled debian packages are available so far, you have to check out manually. To do that, first create a Catkin workspace, and enter in a terminal
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-control ros-indigo-ros-controllers ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-control
cd <your-catkin-folder>/src
git clone http://github.com/youbot/youbot_description.git -b indigo-devel
git clone http://github.com/youbot/youbot_simulation.git
catkin_make
The last command should run through without errors. In order to launch it, enter
roslaunch youbot_gazebo_robot youbot.launch
Note: the simulated motion of the robot can be very slow, as the mobile base uses a non-optimized controller.
