Is ros has the needed capabilities to analyze the surface and decide about water spots?
Greetings,
In the next two weeks, I have to submit a proposal for a ros project. I am thinking of a drone scanning a scheduled paths (streets) to search for water spots (let us say after raining) on the street and publish a message for a ground robot to go and do some actions, my question is, is ros has the needed capabilities to analyze the surface and decide about water spots?, I am a newbie here, so I am expecting some easy approaches. I am operating ros on ubuntu through virtual machine and currently I have zero experience; except ros tutorials.
thank you
How many weeks do you have to complete this project? Are you using simulation or a real robot? What technique/sensor(s) are you going to use to determine the current location of the robot?
Hi, I have around 8 weeks up to now. We have both options, but surely I am going with simulation. Honestly speaking, up to know I do not have any idea of what really I will be capable of doing after I finish the course as we are in the middle of the course. What I was thinking about that having a drone moving as per a predefined paths or sub paths is something repeated and normal, so I wanted to add the ability to discover water spots and report it to an unmanned ground vehicle (two robots), and based on their distance and freeness, one of them should response and go to the water spot to take the action, which is conceptually, draining the street surface, for example, or report it if there is some damages. Bottom of line, I just started to search for possibilities of applying such ...(more)
