While working on another blog post I fell into a rabbit hole of comparing SLAM packages using ROS. This blog post briefly describes how I managed to compare the results of two SLAM packages by using evo Python package.

In the past couple of weeks, as part of a project with Robosynthesis, I’ve been exploring slam_toolbox by Steven Macenski. This post summarizes my experience so far.

In the final tutorial of this 3 part web tutorial we will be looking at using a web video server for streaming of camera feed over HTTP.

In this intermediate tutorial we will look into using libuvc_camera package with a simple USB camera. In the process we will learn something about udev rules and nodelets.

In this beginners tutorial I’ll give you a step by step introduction how to use rosbridge server and roslibjs to communicate with ROS using your web browser. By the end of this tutorial we will have a working prototype of a simple website allowing you to control a robot using a virtual joystick.
