What it does
- Provides bringup launch files for real ROSbot and ROSbot XL robots, with selectable configurations such as basic, pro, telepresence, autonomy and manipulation.
- Includes a Gazebo simulation package to run the robots virtually, with options for headless mode and spawning several robots under different namespaces.
- Communicates with the robot's microcontroller through a MAVLink bridge, and includes a utility to flash the firmware.
- Offers launch arguments for drive type (mecanum or differential), namespaces, serial ports, LED animations and the optional manipulator arm.
- Documents its ROS API in a separate file and links to demos for telepresence and mapping-plus-navigation autonomy.
