[Gazebo] RRTBot and RandomWalkBot generation #10

Closed Jbwasse2 closed 5 years ago

Jbwasse2 commented 5 years ago

Given an NxN grid and K weaselballs, I would like to automatically generate a robot using an algorithm similar to random walk or RRT.

Currently the RRTBot has been generated in python, the robot-creater code in the scripts folder needs to be verified to creating the correct files for gazebo to run.

Implemented in recent merge (B11DC89). RandomWalkBot was not added. The advantage of RRTBot is that the collection of bots will be more evenly distributed around the center (on average when compared to RRTBot). However, a similiar shape can be made with RRT bot if one plays around with the size of the NxN grid and K weaselballs. If the implementation of RandomWalkBot needs to be made I will reopen this issue.
