# ROS2-FrontierBaseExplorationForAutonomousRobot

**🏆 Real-World Validation & Mentions:**
* **US R&D Implementation:** Evaluated and integrated by the US Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) in their official technical report ([ERDC TR-25-10](https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Media/Publication-Notices/Article/4186191/autonomous-robotics-development-in-robot-operating-system-ros-2-humble/)). The package was selected for its efficient Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm to govern autonomous decision-making, successfully guiding a physical robot to autonomously map indoor environments and generate 3D point clouds.
* **Academic Research:** Featured as a core implementation in a Master's thesis at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), focusing on collaborative autonomous exploration methodologies ([Read Thesis](https://webthesis.biblio.polito.it/33980/)).

Our autonomous ground vehicle uses Frontier Based exploration to navigate and map unknown environments. Equipped with sensors, it can avoid obstacles and make real-time decisions. It has potential applications in search and rescue, agriculture, and logistics, and represents an important step forward in autonomous ground vehicle development.

This project utilizes the **Frontier-Based Exploration** algorithm for autonomous exploration. The project employs **DFS** for grouping boundary points, **A*** for finding the shortest path, **B-Spline** for smoothing path curvature, and **Pure Pursuit** for path following, along with other obstacle avoidance techniques. The combination of these techniques aims to provide a sophisticated, efficient, and reliable solution for autonomous ground vehicle exploration in a wide range of applications.

- The exploration algorithm has been optimized.

- Robot decision algorithm has been changed. Watch the video for detailed information.

- Thread structure has been added to the exploration algorithm.

# How does it work?

1 - To get started with autonomous exploration, first launch the Map Node

by running the following command:

`ros2 launch slam_toolbox online_async_launch.py`

2 - Then, launch the Gazebo simulation environment by setting the TurtleBot3

model, for example, using the following command:

`export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger`

`ros2 launch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch.py`

3 - Once the simulation environment is running, run the autonomous_exploration

package using the following command:

`ros2 run autonomous_exploration control`

This will start the robot's autonomous exploration.

## Requirements

- ROS2 - Humble
- Slam Toolbox
- Turtlebot3 Package
