[ros-users] user-defined robots in ROS ?

[William Woodall]

This is what I could find:

Lego NXT: http://www.ros.org/wiki/nxt
P2OS/ARCOS: http://www.ros.org/wiki/p2os (Pioneer uses ARCOS, afaik)
iRobot Create (Roomba): http://www.ros.org/wiki/irobot_create_2_1 That is
Brown's pkg, I have used it personally, it works great, but there are others
also.

More importantly, ROS just provides a good foundation, regardless of what is
supported out of the box, some assembly will be required.

Hope that helps,
