How do I use turtleX/teleport_absolute in a python script to teleport the turtle to origin as soon as I run the script.

HI @Napster

Here is a snippet of how teleport absolute with Python. It could be improved, but it will help you get started.

import time

import rospy

from turtlesim.srv import TeleportAbsolute
from turtlesim.srv import Spawn
from std_srvs.srv import Empty as EmptyServiceCall


rospy.init_node("teleporting_node")

clear_background = rospy.ServiceProxy('clear', EmptyServiceCall)

spawn_turtle = rospy.ServiceProxy('spawn', Spawn)

spawn_turtle(5,5,45, "turtle2")  #x,y,theta
time.sleep(10)
print('wait for 10 seconds...')


turtle2_teleport = rospy.ServiceProxy('turtle2/teleport_absolute', TeleportAbsolute)

turtle2_teleport(2,2,0)
print('teleportation completed')
