Hi Arkapravo,<div><br></div><div>I think the answer to your question lies in this tutorial:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/navigation/Tutorials/RobotSetup">http://www.ros.org/wiki/navigation/Tutorials/RobotSetup</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Basically you&#39;ll have to design yourself the odometry source and the base controller blocks represented in the diagram, which usually come in the same ROS node (which you&#39;ll have to create for your own robot).</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are using a popular robot platform it is likely that someone has already made that node for ROS.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Gonçalo Cabrita</div><div>ISR - University of Coimbra</div>
