I've been working on a project, and I need to turn a certain direction when a turtlebot bumps into something. I'm looking for a ROS plugin to use in a simulation in Gazebo. I can't seem to find anything in any turtlebot repositories or on the ROS wiki.
Thank you.
Maybe there is something wrong or broken. I am also having problems to reading bumper events when using kobuki in Gazebo. It's like the kobuki plugin for gazebo is not publishing bumper events.
If you are simulating a Turtlebot2, the kobuki base gazebo plugin provides bumper / cliff sensor events as kobuki_msgs::BumperEvent / kobuki_msgs::CliffEvent messages in the /mobile_base/events/bumper and /mobile_base/events/cliff topics. No idea about the Create plugin, however.
On the real robot, bumper/cliff events are also republished as a pointcloud, so can be integrated on move_base's costmaps, but this doesn't work on simulation jet (I'll make it, if I ever find the time)
