Hi,all. I have two Yujin Kobuki robots. And I came up an idea today,but I don't know how to make it realize. The idea is that:I want a kobuki robot follow another kobuki robot. I can use keyboard to control the front robot , and the robot behind will follow the front robot automatic. How can I make it realize? I learn ROS only 3 months. And I don't know how to write a package, how to use others package on my own robot. I hope some one could give me some idea, or send me a package which will work correctly on my kobuki, so that I can learn from it.Thanks a lot. My email address is huangshiw@126.com . I would appreciate it if you can send the package by email. △the package: turtlebot_follower doesn't work on my kobuki :(

If you do not know how to create a package, then you should keep reading tutorials before going with a bigger task. I recommend you step by step. For instance, are you able to teleop just one turtlebot?

I have already finished reading the beginning tutorials. I can teleop my turtlebot now.

Then a first easy step is to create a package in which you give a point (assuming no obstacles) and the robot moves automatically to that point
