Hi Enea: Thank you for you suggestions. I do think it is more convenient to use the p2os node for this task. In fact, I have it already installed, however I kept using ROSARIA since I couldn't run the launch file in p2os package that is supposed to make keyboard teleoperation. I tried using teleop_base node and didn't work either (it did with ROSARIA). I know there is the posibility of operating the robot with a joystick but I have none :(. I wanted to know if you teleoperate your robot using your keyboard and if you do, would yo give me any suggestions to make it work with my pioneer? I also wanted to know at what is the base_footprint frame refering to. Thank you very much for your help :D.
