Prerequisites

• ROS: Our framework has been tested in ROS Noetic. We also support a non-ros version.

• Forces Pro: You can request an academic license from here.

Run

a. Simple Run

python tracker_server.py

b. Run with ROS

You can change the parameters in config/exp_.yaml to switch different modes.

exp: "simulation"  # 0: "simulation", 1: "ros simulation", 2: "ros real"

To run ROS simulation, you will need to build the package:

git clone [email protected]:Zhourobotics/resilient-target-tracking.git
catkin build
source devel/setup.bash

then you can run "tracker_server.py" and open a .rviz to visualize the odom and danger zones.
