本博客只是个人学习记录使用，瞎写写，内容比较粗糙。编写过程中，借鉴了古月居大神的smartcar和ROS-WIKI以及其它一些大神的内容。

引入古月居大神的链接使用smartcar进行仿真和smartcar源码上传

下面我针对自己的机器人编写的代码和文件。

launch文件

<launch>  

    <param name="/use_sim_time" value="false" />  

 

    <!-- Load the URDF/Xacro model of our robot -->  

    <arg name="urdf_file" default="$(find xacro)/xacro.py '$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf.xacro'" />  

    <arg name="gui" default="true" />

    <param name="use_gui" value="$(arg gui)"/>

        <param name="sim" value="true"/>  
    </node>  

    <node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" >

    <node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher">  

        <param name="publish_frequency" type="double" value="20.0" />  

    </node>  

 

     <!-- We need a static transforms for the wheels -->  

     <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_left_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /left_front_link 100" />  

     <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_right_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /right_front_link 100" />  
 

    <node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find smartcar_description)/urdf.rviz" />  

</launch>

xacro文件包括三部分：
