Hello ROS-Community,
I'm a total beginner using the amazing ros-environment...
In the past, I've coded a lot of routines at simple ARM-based systems (Lego NXT and ARM9 Linux) using C and Lua.
Last weekend I've made some tests with the brandnew rosnxt package and I had much fun with this Lego Gimick ... it works with ROS ! :-D
Now, I'd like to start with a new platform (Ubuntu & ROS) and have some rookie questions to the community:
For me it seems that ROS needs expensive rangefinders... True ???
Or is it possible to use cheap stereo USB-CAMs for basic navigation ?
Any suggestions how to use ROS without SICK or any other expensive lasers ?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Christian
