[Tool share] Autonomous Exploration Toolkit by Team Robocon IITR

Hi,

We’re excited to share our customized Explore Package (modified form of explore_lite) for ROS2, designed to enhance autonomous exploration task.

Key features and capabilities:

  • Autonomous frontier-based exploration logic (powered by Nav2, and RTAB-Map)
  • ArUco marker detection (OpenCV ArUco marker detector integrated with sensor data - needs further fine tuning)
  • Automatic boundary generation for navigation area refinement
  • Ready-to-use launch and configuration files for seamless deployment
  • Tuned speed profiles and easy parameter customization for Panther robots (Husarion) or other platforms

Built on major robotics and simulation tech stacks:

  • Nav2 navigation stack
  • RTAB-Map SLAM
  • OpenCV (for vision tasks)

For setup and usage instructions, please refer to the README in the Github.

Best regards,
Ekam

Thank you. Points have been awarded!
