ROS communication

edit

Thank you! But can we control the robot to do specific tasks like build a map or send goal to move_base?

from http://wiki.ros.org/rosbridge_suite "The protocol covers subscribing and publishing topics, service calls, getting and setting params, and even compressing messages and more." So if you want to control the robot you can send twist instructions on the "/cmd_vel" topic. or you create a ROS node that will handle the ros_bridge messages. because you send/receive data you can do everything, as long as you handle that data.

That could be a bit challenge, I'll think about that. Thank you!

I wouldn't recommend using ROS1 on Windows. Take a look at rosbridge_suite it's designed to solve your problem.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But as I know, rosbridge has some limitation in control the robot, cannot launch a node is an example. Is that true and how can we solve that? Thank you!

You are correct, but you can write a node in ROS that handles the ros_bridge messages. that way you can launch a node by sending a message.( I commented on the post from @pltlg to not create 2 answers about ros_bridge.)

Thank you for helping, I will put my mind on that.

Thank you for answering, I'll think about that.
