About

The rms_pr2_gazebo_environment package contains launch files that can launch an example RMS Gazebo environment for use with the rms. These files will launch the simulator with a PR2 world from the rail_worlds package, place a PR2 into the world, and start appropriate server nodes (e.g., rosbridge_server).

Installation

To install the rms_pr2_gazebo_environment stack, you can choose to either install from source, or from the Ubuntu package:

Source

To install from source, execute the following:

```
   1 cd /path/to/your/ros/stacks
   2 git clone https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/rms_pr2_gazebo_environment.git
   3 roscd rms_pr2_gazebo_environment
   4 rosdep install rms_pr2_gazebo_environment
   5 rosmake rms_pr2_gazebo_environment
```

Ubuntu Package

To install the Ubuntu package, execute the following:

sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-rms-pr2-gazebo-environment

Startup

Two launch files are included with this package: one to launch everything needed to run the entire server environment, and one to just spawn the robot into an existing Gazebo instance. To launch the entire server environment (i.e., with all server nodes such as rosbridge_server), simply run the following:

roslaunch rms_pr2_gazebo_environment rms_pr2_gazebo_environment.launch

If instead you wish to start Gazebo and spawn the robot without starting the actual server nodes, run the following set of commands in two shell sessions:

```
   1 roslaunch rail_worlds fuller_318_full_2_tables_world.launch
   2 roslaunch rms_pr2_gazebo_environment pr2_gazebo_start.launch
```
