Revision history [back]

As long as the robot is already set up and has a standard geometry_msgs/Twist interface, all you need is a node that translates the sensor_msgs/Joy message (assumption, as this is how those drivers are usually implemented) into a respective twist message. There are many packages out there doing things like that, usually something called teleop.

Or you could directly send out the twist message from the node.

Does this answer your question? If not, please elaborate!
