This PR enhances the simulation by introducing flexible vehicle positioning and dynamic location control. Previously, the vehicle could only spawn at a fixed point, limiting the ability to test various scenarios effectively. With these changes, users can set the vehicle’s starting position and continuously update its location during the simulation.
Start the AwsimLabs environment and open the planning simulator as you normally would.
in Rviz, press the 'P' key to enter the mode for selecting the vehicle’s initial starting point. Click on the desired location in the Rviz window to set the starting position.
Test setting multiple different starting positions for the vehicle by repeating the process. After selecting each new position, ensure the vehicle spawns at the correct location.
