Package Description

controller node that converts Twist messages on `/cmd_vel` and similar topics to the actual wheel state; Also includes safeguards that can limit the acceleration and velocity or stop the rover to adjust wheel rotation.

Wheel Controllers

High level API for the wheel control system.

Provides an abstraction layer over low-level wheel hardware/simulation drivers.

While the hardware driver or the simulation allow to set the speed and rotation of each wheel independently, the high-level API can interpret either the twist of the robot or human driving input.

As an extra, there are two headless input controllers that can be used to control the robot without access to the ground station interface.

Controllers

Twist

Interprets linear and angular velocities of the robot in relation to its centroid.

Includes a safeguard system that constrains acceleration and deceleration, and additionally stops the robot to adjust when target twist changes too abruptly.

Drive

Interprets human driving input:

  • movement speed
  • turn radius
  • body angle offset
  • in-place rotation

In this case, acceleration is not constrained to allow the human operator to execute more dangerous maneuvers.

Headless Input

Gamepad

Handles gamepad input and publishes Drive messages. This node is a headless alternative to gamepad handling in kalman_gs. Only one gamepad can be used.

Arduino

Handles inputs from our custom Arduino controller and publishes Drive messages. This node is run along with kalman_ws as it does not support the Arduino controller by itself.
