💖 SIMUL-GRIDMAP — bestie edition 💖

okay so you know how i'm literally obsessed with this one? it's simul-gridmap, a lil command-line app from the Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT), manual section 1. it does one thing and it does it slayfully: it makes you a robot dataset simulator — from a gridmap plus a predefined robot path. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

simul-gridmap — robot dataset simulator from a gridmap and a predefined robot path 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

simul-gridmap OPTIONS

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional drama. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

simul-gridmap is a command-line application (an icon, a legend, the moment) which generates a synthetic rawlog of a simulated robot as it follows a path — that path comes from the poses.txt file — and takes measurements from a laser scanner in a world that's defined through an occupancy grid map.

so like: map in, path in, fake-but-believable laser data out. no cap. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every flag, exactly as it comes, no skips, no shortcuts:

  • --help — produces the help message. your bestie when you're lost. 🫶
  • --grid arg — the grid map file (*.gridmap or *.gridmap.gz). the world, basically. 🌈
  • --poses arg — the poses text file, one 'time x y phi' line per pose. that's the robot's little itinerary. 💖
  • --out-rawlog arg — the output rawlog to generate, from which to take noisy odometry. 👀
  • --in-rawlog arg — (optional) the rawlog from which to take noisy odometry.
  • --ranges arg (=361) — number of laser ranges per scan (default = 361).
  • --span arg (=180) — span of the laser scans (default = 180 degrees).
  • --std_r arg (=0.01) — range noise sigma (default = 0.01 meters).
  • --std_b arg (=0.05) — bearing noise sigma (default = 0.05 degrees).
  • --nologo — skip the logo at startup. for when you're too busy to be iconic at boot. 🙈
pspsps: the (=whatever) bits are defaults, bestie. if you don't pass the flag, that's the value you get. periodt.
