New in groovy

Get started

To learn how to use this package, take a look to the Kobuki automatic docking tutorial

ROS API

dock_drive

Converts IR signals from the docking station and odometry info into the velocity commands to guide robot to the docking station

Subscribed Topics

~odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)
  • retrieves the robot's odometry info to calculate current location and next move
~core (kobuki_msgs/SensorState)
  • retrieves the robot's sensor info to check charging state
~dock_ir (kobuki_msgs/DockInfraRed)
  • retrieves IR signals from the docking station to identify robots relative position to the docking station

Published Topics

~motor_power (kobuki_msgs/MotorPower)
  • turn on/off the power of kobuki's motor
~velocity (geometry_msgs/Twist)
  • velocity commands to the robot to guide the robot to the docking station

~velocity (geometry_msgs/Twist)
  • velocity commands to the robot to guide the robot to the docking station

Parameters

~min_abs_v (double, default: 0.01)
  • minimal linear velocity of velocity commands to the robot in m/s
~min_abs_w (double, default: 0.1)
  • minimal angular velocity of velocity commands to the robot in rad/s
