New in groovy
Get started
To learn how to use this package, take a look to the Kobuki automatic docking tutorial
ROS API
dock_drive
Converts IR signals from the docking station and odometry info into the velocity commands to guide robot to the docking stationSubscribed Topics
~odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)- retrieves the robot's odometry info to calculate current location and next move
- retrieves the robot's sensor info to check charging state
- retrieves IR signals from the docking station to identify robots relative position to the docking station
Published Topics
~motor_power (kobuki_msgs/MotorPower)- turn on/off the power of kobuki's motor
- velocity commands to the robot to guide the robot to the docking station
