\n \n
\n\nEach block is a `DynamicalSystem` with state evolution `f` and observation `h` functions. The Kalman filter fuses three sensors: motion capture (position), barometer (altitude), and IMU (velocity).\n\n### ROS Deployment: Distributed Nodes\n\nFrom the [ROS deployment notebook](../python_to_ros/crazyflie_ros_deployment.ipynb), we wrapped these systems as ROS nodes:\n\n
\n \n
\n\nEach dynamical system became a ROS node communicating via topics. The Crazyflie simulator published three sensor topics.\n\n### Gazebo Integration: Same Architecture, Physics Engine\n\nNow we replace the software simulator with Gazebo's physics simulation:\n\n
\n \n
\n\n**Notice**: The Gazebo node (in red) provides **three sensor topics** (`/mocap`, `/baro`, `/imu`), **identical to the Python ROS deployment's multi-sensor architecture**. The Kalman filter subscribes to all three topics for sensor fusion.\n\n**Key Insight**: Gazebo Crazyflie maintains the **exact same sensor suite** from the theory notebook:\n- **`/mocap`**: Motion capture 3D position [x, y, z] (from `/odom` - ground truth)\n- **`/baro`**: Barometer altitude measurement (from `/air_pressure`)\n- **`/imu`**: IMU velocity [vx, vy, vz] (from `/imu` sensor)\n\nThis preserves the **7D measurement fusion** from theory → ROS → Gazebo, demonstrating seamless architectural consistency!\n\n### Teleoperation with Gazebo\n\nJust as in the [ROS deployment notebook](../python_to_ros/crazyflie_ros_deployment.ipynb#adding-teleoperation), teleoperation provides **direct velocity control** by publishing commands straight to `/cmd_vel`:\n\n**Architecture Modes**:\n- **Autonomous Navigation** (this notebook): Setpoint Generator → Position Controller → `/cmd_vel` → Gazebo\n- **Teleoperation**: Joystick Teleop → `/cmd_vel` → Gazebo\n\nWhen using teleoperation with Gazebo, the joystick teleop node bypasses the setpoint generator and position controller entirely, sending velocity commands directly to Gazebo's `/cmd_vel` topic. The multi-sensor Kalman filter continues running to provide state estimates for monitoring and visualization.\n\n:::{note}\nThis tutorial implements the autonomous navigation architecture. For teleoperation with Gazebo, you would simply run a joystick teleop node (e.g., `joy_node` + `teleop_twist_joy`) that publishes to `/cmd_vel`, and the Gazebo simulation would respond exactly as it does to our controller commands—with the same realistic multi-sensor fusion continuing in the background!\n:::" }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "source": "## What Gazebo's Crazyflie Provides\n\nThe Crazyflie model in Gazebo publishes the **same sensors** as our software simulation:\n\n**Input Topics** (subscribed by Gazebo):\n- `/cmd_vel` (Twist) - Velocity commands\n\n**Output Topics** (published by Gazebo):\n- `/mocap` (Vector3) - Simulated motion capture: 3D position [x, y, z]\n- `/baro` (Float64) - Simulated barometer: altitude z\n- `/imu` (Vector3) - Simulated IMU: velocity [vx, vy, vz]\n\n**No Adaptation Needed**:\n- Motion capture → Same 3D position measurement\n- Barometer → Same altitude measurement\n- IMU → Same velocity measurement\n- **Identical 7D measurement vector**!\n\n**Sensor Consistency**:\n\n| Component | Software | Gazebo | Match |\n|-----------|----------|--------|-------|\n| Mocap | `/mocap` (Vector3) | `/mocap` (Vector3) | **✓** |\n| Baro | `/baro` (Float64) | `/baro` (Float64) | **✓** |\n| IMU | `/imu` (Vector3) | `/imu` (Vector3) | **✓** |\n| Measurement | 7D stacked | 7D stacked | **✓** |\n| KF model | H matrix (7×6) | H matrix (7×6) | **✓** |\n\nThis is **seamless integration** - the same Kalman filter code works unchanged in both environments!", "id": "cell-4", "metadata": {} }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "source": [ "## Setup: Imports\n" ], "id": "cell-5", "metadata": {} }, { "cell_type": "code", "source": [ "import numpy as np\n", "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n", "from pykal import DynamicalSystem\n", "from pykal.ros.ros_node import ROSNode\n", "from pykal.algorithm_library.estimators.kf import KF\n", "from pykal.gazebo import start_gazebo, stop_gazebo\n", "\n", "# ROS message types\n", "from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist, Vector3\n", "from nav_msgs.msg import Odometry\n", "from sensor_msgs.msg import Imu\n", "import rclpy\n", "import time\n", "\n", "print(\"Imports successful!
