Included Programs

Hardware tests

The ERSP software comes with some very useful programs to test how well the hardware is working. All of them are command-line utilities located in /opt/evolution_robotics/bin. The most useful of these are:

• test_battery
• test_range_sensors
• test_camera

If these three tests execute successfully, all hardware is properly connected.

Navtool

Navtool is an included application useful for testing that the ERSP software is working properly. It demonstrates object avoidance and map-building.

To use it, execute the following two commands in separate consoles:

$ run_slam_explore
$ run_client_gui
