Day 7

Log

1. Use geodesy package for GSM84 --> UTM coordinate transformation
   • sudo apt install ros-kinetic-geodesy see http://wiki.ros.org/geodesy
   • UTM Coordinate frame more or less squares of 180km
2. Modified bambi gazebo world and model path. Now they are placed under "bambi_ws"/gazebo. REMEMBER to add the following in .bashrc:
   • export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=$GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH:~%BAMBI-GIT-ROOT%/gazebo
   • export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:~%BAMBI-GIT-ROOT%/gazebo/models

Coordinate Reference System

In UTM (Northing, Easting, Down) reference system is positive toward north pole (toward map top) and toward east (toward the map right)
