Interactive Markers Teleop
Description: A tutorial describing how to use rviz interactive markers for controlling the TurtleBot.Tutorial Level: BEGINNER
Contents
Goal

Make sure the minimal software has already been launched on the robot and you have configured your network correctly. On the PC:
Roslaunch
1. launch the turtlebot_marker_server, which will host an interactive_markers server.
> roslaunch turtlebot_interactive_markers interactive_markers.launch --screen
2. Next, start up a rviz displaying the marker topics. On the PC, type:
> roslaunch turtlebot_rviz_launchers view_robot.launch
