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.

Robots that can run it

No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.

Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
