Only released in EOL distros:   electric fuerte groovy hydro indigo kinetic

Overview

This package is still experimental.

The move action server especially comes with a very simple test action - rotate + move forward. This could be quite useful expanded into a suite of standardised turtlebot motion tests - updates welcome.

Nodes

turtlebot_move_action_server

Provides an action server for moving the TurtleBot through a certain distance and rotation.

Published Topics

~cmd_vel (geometry_msgs/Twist)

• Topic to publish drive commands to.

Parameters

~base_frame (string, default: base_link)

• TF frame name for the center of the base.

~odom_frame (string, default: odom)

• TF frame name for the odometry frame.

~turn_rate (double, default: 0.75)

• Maximum turn rate, in rad/s.

~forward_rate (double, default: 0.25)

• Maximum forward rate, in m/s.

Required tf Transforms

odom_frame → base_frame

• The transform we use to determine how far the robot has moved.
