What it does
- Drives the robot's motors from velocity commands on the cmd_vel topic, with motor power switched by a service.
- Publishes odometry, computed from wheel pulse counts when available or estimated from commanded velocity otherwise.
- Publishes readings from the front light sensors and the three side push switches.
- Controls the four front LEDs and the buzzer through subscribed topics.
- Runs as a managed lifecycle node that must be configured and activated before the robot responds.
- Offers parameters for wheel size, wheel spacing, sensor publishing rates and odometry frame names.
