Revision history [back]

I am using a robotion of FESTO, and FESTO's engineers provided a robotino-ros-pkg in which there are several nodes including tele-operation via keyboard, navigation node consisting of a gmapping launch file and a navigation launch file, and something else. I just installed a ROS on my virtual machine ubuntu 10.04.

And I installed robotino's package on virtual machine. Actually, ROS system doesn't need to install on the robotino. They provided their owned API, and the operation mode is just like server/client while I was controling the robot via teleop-node which is a wireless remote control using keyboard keys.

Perhaps the sensor data are send to ROS system of my VM in this way. The map was built via gmapping algorithm just based on the sensor data it received. I checked the nodes connection with rxgraph, and everything works fine.

As I just learnt ROS for a few days, and was interrupted by other affairs. I just turned back and try to solve it. And I ve just read on-line document of building navigation stack and related parts of RobotSetup. It looked like that the stack should be palced on the robot system rather than the locak work station or PC.

So, could anyone give some advices about the way they build the navigation stack or package.
