how to run whole simulation in my own pc rather than webshell

2

I thought it is not possible

I think The Construct must be do some favour that all of us must be able to make practices in our home PC

If you would like to create your own simulation based on the same robot here in webshell. You would require the URDF file which could be converted from 3D design. Then you import the files in Gazebo, which will provide you with your own simulation environment.

Hi @nadeem ,

Welcome to this Community!

Before you can run simulations on your PC, you must have some basic packages installed.

  1. ROS Noetic Desktop Version (comes with Gazebo)
  2. ROS2 Galactic Desktop Version (Galactic if you use Ubuntu 20.04, Humble if you use Ubuntu 22.04). You cannot install Humble on Ubuntu 20.04 - not worth the try or the effort.
  3. Download necessary robot description and model packages.
  4. Create a simulation workspace for ROS1 and ROS2 and extract your robot simulation packages here.
  5. Create your ROS packages in the catkin_ws or ros2_ws workspace.
  6. Create launch files to load robot models on Gazebo along with your ROS packages.
  7. Enjoy! [If you reach here all by yourself, give yourself a treat!]

PS: I had to end on a funny and slightly sarcastic note on step 7 because this whole process can take quite some time, actually a day or two!
