Create random obstacles in Gazebo #273

Open marian42 opened 5 years ago

marian42 commented 5 years ago

To train/test different algorithms for their obstacle avoidance capabilities, it would be helpful to have obstacles in Gazebo.

It would be good to have a node that places random objects (cubes, cylinders,...) along the racetrack. It would also be useful if the node could reposition them upon receiving a message. That way the obstacles can be rearranged by learning algorithms like Q-learning or evolutionary algorithms.

There is a working version on the branch marian-obstacles, but is has some performance problems in Gazebo. It seems to be a problem with Gazebo, see here.
