[JdeRobot] Advances in the compatibility with ROS

[JoseMaria Cañas Plaza]

Hi,

we are working in the compatibility of our JdeRobot framework with
ROS. The general idea is to use ROS drivers without any change on
them, just as they come, and to focus our develpment force more into
robotic applications (like TeachingRobotics and others).

Satyaki [2] has finished a new prototype of the compatibility library
that allows the connection of JdeRobot to most common driver messages
in ROS. Don't miss the new "video of the month"! [1]. Very promissing
results: a Kobuki robot is launched in the ROS world (using Gazebo
simulator), publishing only ROS messages and it is teleoperated from
our KobukiViewer JdeRobot component.

Congratulations Satyaki!
