0.3.5 (2016-08-27)

0.3.4 (2016-08-08)

• unit test fixes (#65)
• fix roslint errors
• add missing dependency (#62)
• modifications to the battery estimator to accomodate values greater than that of which the model was fitted from
• updated the battery_diagnostics node to use a battery model if one exists on the segbot. If so, battery estimation times are added to diagnostics, otherwise its business as usual.
• modified naming system for diagnostic messages. Added python dependencies required by the battery_profiler.py
• segbot_v3: add robot monitor for diagnostics
• added additional flexability to the battery_diagnostics sendmail node that will now allow parameters to be set in the launch file to reflect local segbot differences (different threshold levels, etc). Appropriate values have been added for the segbot_v3 in its launchfile. The segbot_v3 controller now republishes battery information onto the topic assumed by the battery diagnostics.
• updated for hokuyo on segbot v3
• changed filter in velodyne launch script.
• added an outlier removal filter for the velodyne.
• added statistical outlier filter.
• switch from pointcloud to laserscan in navigation for the velodyne. Introduce the scan shadows filter.
• added velodyne launch files for version 3

• segbot_sensors: set rospy.Publisher queue_size (fixes #38)
• updated kinect launch file to work on both hydro and indigo.
• segbot_sensors: convert to package format two (#35)

• use different list of filters for segbot v1 and segbot v2 due to differences between different laser models.
• added a launch file for ethernet hokuyo for segbot v2.
• added some code to process low battery messages. The robots will now attempt to send an email if they're reaching low battery levels.
• big rework of all the arduino code to support the sensors on the new mounting plate.
• added some diagnostic publications.
• removed hack in nan_to_inf filter that was setting values to max_range - epsilon.

0.1.8 (2013-12-04)

• add missing segbot_sensors dependency on depthimage_to_laserscan (#20).
• use roslaunch_add_files_check() to test that required launch file dependencies are declared.
• fixed a few minor errors found on the real robot
• added configuration with both the hokuyo and kinect in it
• preparing to add kinect as well as the hokuyo for navigation
• change nan to inf filter to handle max_range+ values as well. need to sort this all out in navigation

• fixed filters to split off footprint exclusion from processing nan values
• converting nans from the sensor to positive infinite - feature used by new costmap_2d to assume no readings are empty
