ROS Programming: Building Powerful Robots

Running the robot surveillance application

Okay, so we are ready to run the application. Let's begin.

You can run any robot simulation that has some sort of image topic or camera topic.

For a demo, we will launch the TurtleBot simulation using the following command:

    $ roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch

After launch the simulation, run the HTTPS streamer node from web_video_server:

    $ rosrun web_video_server web_video_server

After running web_video_server, launch rosbridge_server to send Twist messages to ROS from the keyboard teleoperation module:

    $ roslaunch rosbridge_server rosbridge_websocket.launch

Now, open Robot_Surveillance.html to look at the output.

Here is the output you will get for the Robot_Surveillance application. ...
