[ROS Mini Challenge] #7 – make a robot follow another robot
In this post, we will see how to make a robot follow another robot. We’ll make the iRobot follow the big turtle all around the world when it moves, using ROS TF broadcaster and listener nodes. PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge series, which gives you an opportunity to win an amazing

[ROS Mini Challenge] #5 – make a robot detect and avoid an obstacle
In this post, we will see how to make a robot detect and avoid an obstacle in its front. We will move the robot forward until it detects there’s an obstacle (the wall) closer than 1 meter. Then, we will stop the robot so that it does not collide with the wall. PS: This ROS

[ROS Mini Challenge] #3 – make a manipulator robot execute a trajectory
In this post, we will see how to configure MoveIt to make a manipulator robot execute a trajectory based on a Position Goal. We send a Position Goal to the manipulator, and the robot computes and executes a trajectory plan in order to reach this goal. PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge

[ROS Mini Challenge] #1 – Make a robot rotate according to user input
In this post, we will see how to write a ROS program (in Python) to make a robot rotate according to user input. We are going to fix an error in the code that prevents this program from working as we go on. PS: This ROS project is part of our ROS Mini Challenge series,

How to Test Your ROS Programs
How can you test the ROS programs you are developing for a robot? If you are building a program for a robot, you have to make sure that it works properly, and for that, you need some tests. If you think that you should test your programs directly on the robot, think again. Testing on
