3/12/17: Record steering inputs and video from ZED camera for first iteration of neural network steering controller

  • Record laps in CSL second floor south hallway, with 3 repetitions of 10 different scenes (where two people will be static obstacles in different positions). We will manually drive the car to perform the laps while maneuvering around the people.
  1. Launch teleop app from remote machine.

  2. Open new terminal: rosbag record -O [name of file] [topic1] [topic2]

  3. After each trial run, kill the process.

  4. Repeat 2-3 for each run, ensuring that file names are unique and not overwritten.

  5. Once all the rosbag files are collected, run the export.launch file to export video camera frames and steering inputs to external non-bag files. (This step takes a long time, but is done "offline")

Next steps: set up VICON system and record GPS coordinates and steering inputs (doing step input tests) in order to system ID a car model (next weekend)
