ROS Methodology to Work with Non-ROS Mobile Robots: Experimental Uses in Mobile Robotics Teaching

  • Conference paper
ROBOT2013: First Iberian Robotics Conference

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 253))

Abstract

This paper presents a robotics platform for experimental and teaching purposes that allows control and remote access by using plain sockets (regular TCP/IP sockets) and websockets respectively. The system has been built from ROS middleware (Robot Operating System) and is capable of controlling multiple user operations. The robot hardware connected to sensors or/and actuators does not support ROS due to its features. This article focus attention on describing a work methodology to establish communication of the non-ROS robotic platforms and ROS.
