You can use ROSARIA with the LX. The LX has a few differences from other Pioneer robots that would need to be implemented in the P2OS node; if anyone wants to discuss those let me know. (Mostly in how the robot computer, controller, and some components are interconnected, the basic protocol is the same.)

The full auto-docking process is implemented in the ARNL library (navigating to the docking station, then switching to a mode where it drives into the dock and remains at the dock until some condition (e.g. fully charged) or told to switch out of that mode.) There is a ROS wrapper for ARNL you can run instead of the ROSARIA node if you want (ros-arnl, http://wiki.ros.org/ros-arnl).

Some of the tools used by ARNL to implement docking are available in ARIA however such as sensing the charging station, turning and moving into the station, etc.
