# GridmapNavSimul(1)

GUI robot simulation within a gridmap

## NAME

GridmapNavSimul - GUI robot simulation within a gridmap

## SYNOPSIS

GridmapNavSimul

## DESCRIPTION

A GUI application for simulation of robot motion within a simulated environment defined by an  occupancy grid map. The program simulates noisy odometry and laser measurements and generates a rawlog which can then be used as the input of SLAM algorithms. A ground truth file is also  generated.

The robot is controlled with a joystick or the cursor arrow keys.
