Node descriptions:

  • AMCL
    • Responsible for localization
    • Include an implementation of the Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL) algorithm
  • joint_state_publisher
    • Takes a model of the Cyborg as input and outputs joint values.
    • Used to generate correct coordinate transforms.
  • robot_state_publisher
    • Works in conjunction with joint_state_publisher.
    • Takes joint values as input and output correct coordinate transforms between the frames on the Cyborg (base_link, left and right wheel, laser)
  • RosAria
    • Responsible for interfacing the robot controller on the Pioneer LX for navigation and to receive data from the sensors and odometry.
  • map_server
    • Takes a pre-generated static map as input and servers it to the move_base node.
  • move_base
    • The move_base package provides an implementation of an action (see the actionlib package) that, given a goal in the world, will attempt to reach it with a mobile base. The move_base node links together a global and local planner to accomplish its global navigation task.
