This is the repo for the eYRC competition submisison by the team hb_1134, a documentation for the our Project. The Project's purpose was to simulate Holonomic drive, by making a 3 wheel omi-directional bot. The simulation was achieved with the help of Gazebo and ROS.

Cities, by nature, are constantly under development. In the future, the process of achieving the ever-demanding upgrades in the infrastructure of a city will be automated. The impact of such automation can lead to lesser construction time, little to no manual labour and lower execution costs. With more time, energy and finance to spare, this automation will be empowered by technology and imagination of the mind, and leave room for artistic expression. Humans have an inherent need to make sense of the world around them, understand it and then create something new out of it. For a more inclusive city, this is even more true. Demarcations on the road, signage on billboards and bus stops, and well-landscaped gardens provide order to the chaos and create an environment where the inhabitants can connect to their primal need to belong.
Keeping the above scenario in mind, in eYRC 2022-23 we were presented with the theme HolA Bot (HB)! HolA Bot is short for Holonomic Art Bot. As the full name suggests, this theme contained two major components to it: Holonomic Drive Bot and Art!
In this theme, our team had to deploy holonomic robot in Simulated Environment. Unlike the usual, more popular differential drive robots, the holonomic drive robots can control all the three degrees of freedom possible on a plane (translation along the x, y-axis and rotation along the z-axis). This gives the robot the ability to make art that would otherwise not be possible with the usual two-wheeled differential drive robot. This ability is demonstrated by the following video/gif of KUKA omniMove:
