Concept demonstration
ROS 2 Autonomous Trolley
A design study for an indoor trolley that follows a mapped route, tried in Gazebo before a physical platform moves.
This page describes a design study SATHURIX can discuss with a client. It is not a completed customer deployment.
Project overview
Problem
An indoor route should be rehearsed, including a stop, before a physical platform is booked.
Proposed solution
The study uses ROS 2 for localisation and path following, a Raspberry Pi-class computer on the platform, and Gazebo to rehearse the route. The trolley stops when the localisation is poor or the path is blocked. It is a concept for a controlled indoor space, not a record of an autonomous vehicle in service.
How the study is framed
- 1.Build the map from a site walk and mark the areas the trolley is not allowed to enter.
- 2.Simulate the route, including a blocked aisle, before booking hardware time.
- 3.Keep a manual stop on the platform that does not depend on the navigation software.
Demonstration
The recording below is the existing demonstration. It stays on this page with the interactive simulation.
