Documentation of explore_test.

[TOC]
    

## Installation

Download the code from the SVN repository

    svn co https://explorationeval.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/explorationeval/trunk/stacks/exploration_evaluation_framework/explore_test

Add the directory where the code was downloaded to ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment var

    export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=&lt;explore_test_folder&gt;:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

Now lets make sure that ROS can find your new package

    rospack profile

Compile explore package

    rosmake explore_test

## Use
To launch a demo:

Go to folder that contains demos

    roscd explore_test/config

Launch roscore

    roscore

Launch exploration process

    roslaunch explore_slam.launch


### Useful parameters to be changed

  - test_parameters.xml: sets logging parameters
      - stop_map: termination criteria (area to be explored)
      - log_filename: file where log is saved
      - loop_timeout: interval time to check if the robot is stuck 
                    (i.e., moved less than loop_distance)
      - loop_max: maximum number of times that can happen
      - loop_distance: distance from previous point tu current point 
                      to consider the robot stuck
      - max_time: maximum duration time of the simulation
      - log_time: interval time at which intermediate results are saved to the log file
