• Open the repository in Visual Studio Code and select Reopen in Container from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). This will build the development container with all the necessary dependencies.

• Clone the repository for responsible for driving the robot using arrow keys:

  cd$ROS_WS/src/ git clone [email protected]:leander-dsouza/key_teleop_ros.git

• Install all the required ROS related dependencies:

  rosdep install --from-paths $ROS_WS/src --ignore-src -r -y

• Build the packages:

  colcon build --symlink-install --packages-select atreus key_teleop_ros

• Launch the robot in RViz:

  ros2 launch atreus rviz.launch.py

  atreus_rviz.mp4

• Launch the robot in Gazebo:

  ros2 launch atreus gazebo.launch.py

• Open a new terminal and run the teleoperation node:

• Launch the robot in Gazebo with the SLAM Toolbox:

  ros2 launch atreus slam_toolbox.launch.py

  This will start the mapping process using SLAM Toolbox.

• Open a new terminal and run the teleoperation node:

  ros2 run key_teleop_ros key_drive

  This will allow you to map the environment by driving the robot around.
