Mobile Robot Simulation and Navigation in ROS and Gazebo

mobile robots are entering our daily lives as wellas in the industry. Their task is usually associated with carryingout transportation. This leads to the need to performautonomous movement of mobile robots. On the other hand,modern practice is that the planning of most processes is donethrough simulations. Thus, various future production problemscan be anticipated and remedied or improved. The articledescribes the creation of a mobile robot model in the Gazebosimulation environment. Specific settings and features forrunning a mobile robot in autonomous navigation mode underthe robot operating system are presented. The steps for creatinga map, localization and navigation are presented. Experimentshave been conducted to optimize and tune the parameters ofboth the robot model itself and the simulation controlparameters.
