Tests: controlling a robot

A project log for Robotics Ground Control Station

Yet another overkill project. An attempt at building a portable and versatile GCS for robotics.

As previously mentioned, this project was developed along another robot, and would serve as the controller for it. The main goals (at least primary goals) were controlling the robot through a joystick and visualizing a live feed and point cloud generated by the lidar sensor.

I'll leave a couple of videos here.

In this one, I was testing the live feed latency. As you can see this was a vert [not] scientific test. But sometimes you just gotta go with the feel, not only numbers are important!

Here you can see the live feed and Rviz showing the point cloud live.

There is also a video In which I presented a couple of projects and showed the RGCS functioning at the school I attended. It is available over at their Youtube channel. Link to the video here (starts at the right time).
