ROS on your robot: the tale of an inside, an outside robot and 2 arms
summary
ROS runs as a node framework on Linux and is used here to convert Kinect depth into Kinect→fake laser scan data, build SLAM maps, publish odometry from wheel encoders and control navigation. MoveIt only works reliably with requires six true DOF for MoveIt arms, many cheap “6‑DOF” kits miscount the gripper, and manual inverse kinematics fixes are common. Builds include an indoor rover with encoders and arm and an outdoor “houndbot” with mountain‑bike suspension; demos succeed intermittently and reveal problems like PS3 controller drops at ~10–15 m and USB slip‑ring failures.
