Kobuki Demo
The micro-ROS Kobuki Demo illustrates the use of micro-ROS on the Kobuki platform, which is the mobile base of the well-known Turtlebot 2 research robot.
The basic idea and working principle of this demo is as follows: Instead of a laptop running ROS, the Kobuki is equipped with a STM32F4 microcontroller only. This STM32F4 runs the micro-ROS stack and a port of the thin_kobuki driver, which interacts with the robot’s firmware (which runs on a built-in microcontroller). The STM32F4 communicates the sensor data via DDS-XRCE to a remote laptop running a standard ROS 2 stack, the micro-ROS agent and rviz. At the same time, using the other direction of communication, the Kobuki can be remote-controlled.
