Unity Simulation as a test bench for Robotics.

While getting started with ROS, one might generally feel that there is a steep learning curve. For one to feel a little less overwhelmed, I have come up with this project.

The goal of this project is simple- Letting beginners play around with 2D SLAM algorithms and follow tutorials. This project is a Unity based Simulation for a Differential Drive robot. This robot exposes topics like /cmd_vel, /odom, “tf” and 2D laser data. And it is simple to use, just like a game. You double click on the game icon, run the launch files and voila!

For detailed explanation, checkout this github repo.
