Abstract

In this use case chapter the use of ROS is presented to achieve the standardization of a heterogeneous robots society. So on, several specific packages have been developed. Some case studies have been analized using ROS to control particular robots different in nature and morphology in some applications of interest in robotics such as navigation and teleoperation, and results are presented. All the developed work runs for Indigo version of ROS and the open source code is available at RSAIT’s github (github.com/rsait). Some videos can be seen at our youtube: channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT1s6oS21d8fxFeugxCrjnQ.
