Revision history [back]

There are certainly other ways to make the pioneers move. You might consider the vanderbilt-p2os stack. It has been updated to be used with Groovy. We use it on the three pioneer robots at Vanderbilt.

The velocity can be sent to the p2os stack by publishing a geometry_msgs::Twist message to the topic /base_controller/command. You can read the odometry with the topic /pose, which is of type nav_msgs::Odometry.

If you need an example, you can find one here.

According to the pastebin output, you checked out the package vanderbilt-ros-pkg... You need to check out vanderbilt-p2os. It also appears you are trying to build from your Downloads directory.

So, you need to make yourself a workstation. This should create a workstation and download the code.

Ok. The package you mentioned is included within the PR2 packages. Easy fix, thankfully! I think this should do it:

sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-pr2-controllers
