Hi everyone!
I recently started to explore ROS. I ran the tutorials and got one of our Hokuyo lasers working with ROS. The next logical step is probably to get a robot moving. Here at the lab we have a bunch of Roombas.
We have been using Player on the Roombas with a plugin driver I wrote specifically for the 500 series. I would like to re-write that driver to run native on ROS.
We also have a couple of erratics and I noticed that there is an erratic_player node inspired on the erratic player driver, however I'm not looking to do a similar thing, I want to write something ROS native (assuming I understood right what was done there).
Could anyone advise me on which direction to take next?
Thanks for the support,
