Description: Keyboard teleoperation of a turtlebot.Keywords: keyboard teleop
Tutorial Level: BEGINNER
Next Tutorial: Joystick Teleop
This assumes that you have a TurtleBot which has already been brought up in this tutorial. See TurtleBot Bringup if you have not brought up the TurtleBot.
On the TurtleBot
Now ssh (ssh help) into the turtlebot and start the keyboard teleop nodes
To ssh in to a TurtleBot from a workstation computer:
determine the IP_OF_TURTLEBOT by using ifconfig (Need more help)
To determine a computer's IP address and network interface in linux:
ifconfig
You will see something like:

the IP address of the computer is 10.0.129.17
use ssh to connect to the TurtleBot
ssh turtlebot@IP_OF_TURTLEBOT
roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch
