Navigation of Turtlebot to goal point

I am using ROS Noetic and I am trying to move the turtlebot to a specific goal point. I have seen several online examples which include simple controllers on how to do this but all of them have a "user specified target point". For the project, I am working on, I am trying to track a laser point on the real world using a depth camera and move the turtlebot to where the laser is pointing.

Is this for a simulation or a real robot? How do you intend to use the "depth" data from the camera?

It is for the a real robot (Turtlebot3 Burger). The realsense camera tracks a laser and creates a value for the distance and the angle of the camera to the wall on which the laser is pointing. This data needs to be imported to the turtlebot via the pi 3 and the robot should move to the direction of the laser.

[edited] Do you have a map and move_base working with the turtlebot? Or are you ignoring that and just want to write a dedicated controller node? Do you have a specific question?
