Next Tutorial: Remote monitoring and control
Joystick teleoperation
To run the joystick teleop simply add to the robot launch file joystick:=true.
Example:
$ roslaunch armadillo2 armadillo2.launch gazebo:=true teleop:=true
This command will run the armadillo simulation, and also run the joystick teleop.
By default, the joystick device is /dev/input/js0 but you can select different devices using the joy_dev argument. For example:
$ roslaunch armadillo2 armadillo2.launch gazebo:=true teleop:=true joy_dev:=/dev/input/js1
To use the joystick to steer the robot, use the right stick.
Keyboard teleoperation
To use the keyboard for teleoperation, use the rqt_robot_steering tool.
