a EU FP7 Project "Multi-Role Shadow Robotic System for Independent =
Living - SRS" - http://srs-project.eu/

The project focuses on the development and prototyping of =
remotely-controlled, semi-autonomous robotic solutions in domestic =
environments to support elderly people.

This objective will be realized by the following SRS innovations:=20

1) A new intent-based remote control mechanism to enable the robots to =
be tele-operated over a real-world communication network robustly.
2) An adaptive autonomy mechanism to enable a highly efficient task =
execution for remotely controlled service robots.
3) A new robotic self-learning mechanism to enable the robots to learn =
from their experience.
4) A safety-oriented framework derived through extensive usability and =
user acceptance studies that enable service robots to be effectively =
deployed into home care applications.

The project idea, will be realized with the "Care- O-bot 3" from =
Fraunhofer IPA as a full-size domestic robot- =
http://www.care-o-bot.de/english/

and the software will be ROS based.

We would kindly ask You if You could help us with the following =
questions according PR2 web interface, since this will help a lot to us =
for developing our open source User Interface :

 =20

What files should be placed  in /etc/ros/env? - Please could You give us =
some Example setup?

We have tried to setup pr2 sim together with webui stack (apache, =
python, etc requirements installed). However we are not able to launch =
it by opening http://IP_OF_THE_PR2, if You could give us any ideas how =
to configure it would be welcome, since after installing webui stack we =
haven't  connected with PR2, just we have seen a login screen.

Thanks a lot in advance for Your support

Best Regards

N. Shivarov
