VNC and SSH for viewing and controlling mobile robot
Hi all, please bear with me as I am very new to ROS and am trying to have my fyp done. I will try my best to explain my question.
I am currently waiting for my component to be shipped and am further preparing for the project. The robot will be a SLAM robot with help navigation stack package and gmapping.
Question: Can I remote control (with keyboard)/access my robot from my laptop with ssh (http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Mul...) while using VNC to have RVIZ viewing of the robot?
Am I missing something or is my question not making sense? Please let me know thank you!
I don't think VNC and SSH are mutually exclusive, so yes you should be able to. In the past I have connected to robots using both XRDP and SSH and I don't think VNC would be different. You could also teleop the robot from within your VNC or XRDP client and skip the additional SSH step
100% agree with @shonigmann, VNC and SSH are not mutually exclusive. Also refer to this previous answer #q380112 as there other things to consider.
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for confirming my doubts. Will look into your reference as well. At least I have somewhere to start off.
Thank you both again.
