Teleoperation Panel

The Teleoperation Panel allows you to remotely control your robot by sending geometry_msgs/Twist or geometry_msgs/msg/Twist messages directly to your active ROS system.

Using the Teleoperation Panel:

To remotely maneuver your robot using the directional control interface, ensure you are actively connected via either a native ROS connection or through Rosbridge.

General Settings

  • Message Frequency: Determines how frequently geometry_msgs/Twist or geometry_msgs/msg/Twist messages are published.
  • ROS Topic: Specifies the ROS topic where geometry_msgs/Twist or geometry_msgs/msg/Twist messages will be published.
  • Up Control: Choose the parameter (linear/angular: x, y, or z) and define the value sent when the Up arrow is activated.
  • Down Control: Select the parameter (linear/angular: x, y, or z) and define the value sent when the Down arrow is pressed.
  • Left Control: Assign the parameter (linear/angular: x, y, or z) and specify the value sent when pressing the Left arrow.
  • Right Control: Set the parameter (linear/angular: x, y, or z) and input the value sent when activating the Right arrow.

Supported Message Types:

Ensure your connection provides messages matching one of these compatible message types to utilize this panel effectively.
