OctoMap-ROS2

This repository uses a part of the octomap_mapping ros2 branch.

I recommend utilizing docker to easily configure your environment setting.

How to use

Requirements

• Docker
• NVIDIA docker

Environment setting

• ROS2 humble
• PCL
• Eigen

Clone this repository. It doesn’t matter if the path is not a ros2 workspace.

git clone https://github.com/Taeyoung96/OctoMap-ROS2.git

Make a docker image (For the docker user)

cd docker

docker build -t octomap-ros2:latest .

Make a docker container

When you create a docker container, you need several options to use the GUI and share folders.

First, you should enter the command below in the local terminal to enable docker to communicate with Xserver on the host.

xhost +local:docker

After that, make your own container with the command below.

sudo chmod -R 777 container_run.sh

./container_run.sh <container_name> <image_name:tag>

:warning: You should change {container_name}, {docker image} to suit your environment.

For example,

 ./container_run.sh octomap_ros2 octomap-ros2:latest

If you have successfully created the docker container, the terminal output will be similar to the below.

output :

Current working directory: /home/taeyoung/Desktop/FAST_LIO_ROS2
================Octomap server ROS2 Docker Env Ready================
root@taeyoung-cilab:~/ros2_ws#

How to run

On /ros2_ws directory,

Build the packages with dependencies at first.

colcon build --packages-select octomap_msgs octomap_ros

source install/setup.bash

Then build all the packages.

colcon build

source install/setup.bash

You need to run the 3D Mapping package (ex. FAST_LIO_ROS2) at the same time.

On the FAST-LIO2 terminal,

ros2 launch fast_lio velodyne.launch.py

For this docker container,

ros2 launch octomap_server octomap_mapping.launch.xml

Map save

ros2 run nav2_map_server map_saver_cli -f ~/ros2_ws/src/ --ros-args --remap map:=/projected_map
