Autonomous Robot Inspection of a Railway Environment in Simulation

This is a short demonstration of a wheeled quadruped spawned in a simulation of a railway trackside environment. Using the onboard 3D LiDAR, we can map the space. Once mapped, we set waypoints with actions and deploy the robot on an autonomous routine. In this case, we utilise the PTZ camera payload to take RGB still images of the known trouble spots and defects of the rail infrastructure..
