A set of bare-bones examples mini-drivers to control a mobile robot using rosbridge over websockets.
For a Python example, see python folder. For Javascript examples, see js folder.
Rosbridge enables virtually any device to interact with a ROS system. The Rosbridge protocol specification is available here.
This sample code is meant to demonstrate basic communication without using any special client library, although more sophisticated functionality can be achieved by means of thin client libraries like roslibjs and roslibpy.
Although the examples were written to interact with a Waypoint Robotics Vector robot, they can be adapted to any robot using rosbridge.
