INTEL NUC with turtlebot?

hi im very new to linux and ROS

my fyp is to implement 3D Slam on mobile robot and im going to use RTAB-map for slam now can we use kuboki base from turtlebot and instead of their netbook , use intel nuc ? and our own kinect?(i have kinect at home) and an external laptop for networking purposes. what challenged i might face? i want to use everything as if im using complete turtlebot kit. any help would be appreciated and pardon me im naive :)

Hi,

I don't think there is a problem to use your own pc (as long as you can install Ubuntu+ROS on it) or your own Kinect. Since you are using a setup very similar to Turtlebot, I would refer you to the official Turtlebot tutorials: http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutorials

When you are able to teleop the robot, you can look the navigation tutorials: http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot_navigation

If you are able to do the navigation tutorials of Turtlebot, you will then be able to try this RTAB-Map's tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/MappingAndNavigationOnTurtlebot

cheers
