Gazebo Mapping Tutorial - Automated
Hello,
I am new to Gazebo, and I am having some trouble performing general mapping exercises. I have come across gmapping and hector mapping, but it appears to make use of physical robots rather than pure simulations.
Furthermore, I was having trouble finding information on how to set the robot at some random point in a map and have it perform its own exploration/mapping- basically move on its own and map.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what tutorials I should use?

Gazebo does not have any mapping or control software. Instead you should use ROS.
I recommend looking at the ROS nav stack.

Pardon me for my ignorance, but the link you sent me appears to use a physical robot whereas I want to simulate a robot in gazebo, but perform all the same gmapping, rviz, etc operations on the simulated robot.

You can use ROS for both simulation and real robots. Take a look at the turtlebot sim

Thanks! Any knowledge or resource for the autonomous navigation?
