Steps to get started

1. Clone this repository in your src.
2. Run catkin_make .
3. Run the command roslaunch obstacle_avoidance spawn.launch to launch gazebo, the bot and your world.
4. You can change the world by changing the name of the world file name in the spawn.launch file.
5. You can also change the position where the bot will spawn in the spawn.launch file.
6. Now open a second terminal and run the following command
   chmod +x ~/catkin_ws/src/obstacle_avoidance/scripts/start.py or go into your scripts folder and then run the command
   chmod +x start.py .
7. Run the following command rosrun obstacle_avoidance start.py to start your obstacle avoidance algorithm.
