1 README libroboint/Robo Explorer ROS Connector
3 This is a ROS Stack to control the fischertechnik Robo Explorer with ROS using libroboint.
4 It works with the Navigation Stack, the Laserscan is faked by the Sonar Sensor.
6 You need to use Robo Explorer with Wheels instead of Tracks because the Tracks are too inaccurate for Odometry.
7 I used the Wheel Setup from Mobile Robots 2.
12 ROS - http://www.ros.org tested under Groovy
