Interactive control for generic Twist-based robots using interactive markers

Overview

The purpose of this package is to provide a basic generic marker server for teleoperation of twist-based robots, particularly simple differential drive bases. Examples of such platforms include TurtleBot, Husky, and Kingfisher.

API

marker_server

Serve interactive markers for control of a robot drive base.

Published Topics

~cmd_vel (geometry_msgs/Twist)
  • Command velocity messages arising from markers usage. Messages are not published when the markers are idle.

Parameters

~link_name (str, default: /base_link)
  • Name of frame to attach the markers to; typically will be base_link or base_footprint.
~robot_name (str, default: robot)
  • Single-word name for the robot, to use in labelling the controller.
~marker_size_scale (double, default: 1.0)
  • Scale the size of the markers, for platforms especially large or small.
