I tried to use a conditional code to check if laserData.DistanceMeasurements is null. But now, the problem is that all the measurements given are 0.Do you think using a persistent inspection with true is the correct way? Code SnippetArbiter.ReceiveWithIterator<sicklrf.Replace>(true, ...
We've been hard at work here on a simulator for the Urban Challenge. It's based on our own vehicle dynamics model and simulation engine (no slight intended at the MSRS group's much more advanced and significantly more robust simulator), and works quite well thanks to MSRS's proxy system. We ...
