Hi, I want to create a moving robot but i don't know how i can do it. I tryed to di that learning driffdrive_plugin.cpp, but i don't understand how it is work. There isn't main() function in this file, ROS doesn't need main() function? what ROS needs to controll joints by keyboard?

you should start with the tutorials, it will be easier than understand the whole system by yourself.

The erratic_description package is a good and complete example for a moving mobile base using the DiffDrivePlugin as a gazebo controller. Especially in urdf/erratic_base.xacro you can see how to use the plugin in your urdf model.

To see a running example run:

roslaunch erratic_description erratic_empty_world.launch

This starts gazebo and spawns the erratic model. Then run

rosrun erratic_teleop erratic_keyboard_teleop

You can now move the robot using the keys WASD.

you can also use shift + WASD for speed up!
