hey, thanks for this repo , i would to ask if i can use this repo without a lidar ,i have only a kinect ,thank you

Hi, I am currently trying to read the power readings of the robotino node. The "power_readings" topic gets advertised but is never published. The robotino node works fine and some topics are published just fine (i.e. "odom").

The web view of the robotino shows version 3.1.5. Robotino 3 Images shows this version is quite outdated. Is there a launch file param that i have to set or will a newer version of the robotino api2 solve this?

Im using ROS melodic currently.

Hi,

we have ported most of the code from this repository to ros2 (iron) since we want to use our Robotino with ROS2. @dietriro we plan on creating a a PR with a new branch, ros2, does this work for you?

regards,
Peter

When I run the .launch file, the execution gives me the following errors:

I am using ROS Noetic and built the "rto_core" package successfully.
But I am running "src/rto_core/rto_bringup/launch/robot.launch", then I am geting following:

Hi,

I've seen on the RobotinoWiki website that there exists a C++ robotino_node for the Robotino from Christian Verbeek. I've also seen that the Author of the packages here is also the same person so I would like to know how the package from RobotinoWiki is related to these packages here since I would like to work with one of them.

I really hope this is the right place for my question.

Thank you very much in advance and kind regards
