docs(readme): clarify mapping and Nav2 multi-terminal workflow
- Document per-terminal commands for Cartographer SLAM and map save path - Document Nav2 two-terminal flow and custom map:= usage - Warn against pasting blocking launch commands in one shell - Fix Docker comment: compose service name is go2_sim - Sync README_EN.md with the same structure Made-with: Cursor

## 2.3 Mapping and Navigation
|
||||
For mapping, run the following commands in terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
**Multiple terminals are required.** `ros2 launch ...` blocks the shell until you stop it with Ctrl+C. For mapping you must run **Gazebo, Cartographer, and teleop** at the same time, so use **separate terminals** (or tmux/screen panes). **Do not** paste all commands into one terminal in sequence—the first `launch` will block and the rest will never run.
|
||||
|
||||
**In every new terminal**, load the workspace:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd go2_sim_ws
|
||||
source install/setup.bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mapping (Cartographer SLAM)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Terminal 1 — Gazebo** (extended sensors, warehouse world):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 launch gazebo_sim launch.py sensors:=true world:=warehouse.sdf
|
||||
ros2 launch cartographer go2_cartographer.launch.py
|
||||
ros2 run teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard --ros-args -r /cmd_vel:=/robot1/cmd_vel # keyboard control
|
||||
ros2 run nav2_map_server map_saver_cli -t map -f warehouse_map # save map
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Terminal 2 — Cartographer + RViz**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 launch cartographer go2_cartographer.launch.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Terminal 3 — Keyboard teleop (strongly recommended)** so the robot explores; otherwise the map will stay poor or incomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 run teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard --ros-args -r /cmd_vel:=/robot1/cmd_vel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Terminal 4 — Save the occupancy grid** (run when you are happy with the map; writes `warehouse_map.yaml` and `warehouse_map.pgm` in the **current directory**):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd go2_sim_ws
|
||||
source install/setup.bash
|
||||
mkdir -p maps_out && cd maps_out
|
||||
ros2 run nav2_map_server map_saver_cli -t map -f warehouse_map
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you open a fresh terminal elsewhere, `cd` into `go2_sim_ws`, `source install/setup.bash`, then `cd` to the save directory and run `map_saver_cli`. For Nav2, pass the **absolute path** to `warehouse_map.yaml` as `map:=` (from `maps_out`, run `realpath warehouse_map.yaml`).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For navigation, run:
|
||||
### Navigation (Nav2)
|
||||
|
||||
When using the bundled warehouse map, keep the same world as for mapping (`warehouse.sdf`).
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Terminal 1 — Gazebo**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 launch gazebo_sim launch.py sensors:=true world:=warehouse.sdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Terminal 2 — Nav2** (default map: installed `navigation2/maps/warehouse_map.yaml`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 launch navigation2 go2_navigation2.launch.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To use a map you saved yourself:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ros2 launch navigation2 go2_navigation2.launch.py map:=/absolute/path/to/go2_sim_ws/maps_out/warehouse_map.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the initial pose and goal in RViz; Nav2 plans and executes—keyboard teleop is not required as the primary interface.
