robot_tester

The goal of this package is to test if we can integrate our solution with your robots.

Requirements to Run Test Package

1. This package runs on ROS Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04
2. Installing pika package. You can do that by executing pip install pika
3. Running the navigation stack of your robot
4. After running the navigation stack, you should have access to these rostopics
   • /cmd_vel: (topic of type twist to send velocity commands to make the robot moves.)
   • /amcl_pose: (topic from move_base navigation stack to get the current position of the robot.)

• Note: If you could not access these rostopics, please contact us.

Steps to Run Test Package

1. First, clone the ros package inside catkin_ws/src

   cd ~/catkin_ws/src
   git clone https://github.com/riotu-lab/robot_tester.git

2. Then, you need to compile your workspace

   cd ~/catkin_ws
   catkin_make
   source  ~/.bashrc

3. Finally, launch the package using

   roslaunch robot_tester test.launch host_value:=167.172.94.216 port_value:=5672

Next Step

After executing all of these commands with success, please coordinate a meeting with us to test if the robot is able to receive motion commands from us and moves.
