About

The carl_demos package contains various nodes and launch configurations for CARL robot demos, such as a web demo for running CARL on the RobotsFor.Me project.

Nodes

carl_speed_speak

'carl_speed_speak' provides auditory feedback for CARL's locomotion, so that he can sound more like what he thinks a vehicle sounds like.

Subscribed Topics

cmd_vel (geometry_msgs/Twist)

Velocity commands for CARL's base.

Installation

To install the carl_demos package, you can install from source with the following commands:

```
   1 cd /(your catkin workspace)/src
   2 git clone https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/carl_demos.git
   3 cd ..
   4 catkin_make
   5 catkin_make install
```

Startup

The carl_demos package contains the launch file basic_web_demo.launch which will launch a set of nodes on CARL to allow control of navigation and manipulation through a web interface. This includes tf publishing, video streaming, interactive markers, navigation, and an extra level of safety to allow researchers to cut off control of CARL from the web interface.
