We have successfully implemented the autonomous navigation of UAV with our custom python node using LiDAR ; 2D mapping with Hector SLAM and 3D mapping using Octomap algorithms in the ROS simulation environment. We also implemented an algorithm to manage the battery life of the UAV though which the UAV can use to return home when the battery-level drops down to a certain percentage.
Hi there working on ros kinetic and as such need to convert the Hokuyo_node used in the project to urg_node
Would anyone be able to point me in the direction in the files i would need to amend after switching the nodes or any useful tips
TIA
