Technical requirements

To test the application and codes in this chapter, you will need an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS PC/laptop with ROS Kinetic installed.

You will also need fabricated robot chassis parts for assembling the robot.

You should have all the sensors and other hardware components that can be integrated in the robot.

We have already discussed interfacing individual robot components and sensors with Launchpad. In this chapter, we will try to interface the necessary robotic components and sensors of ChefBot and program it in such a way that it will receive the values from all sensors and control the information from the PC. Launchpad will send all sensor values to the PC via a serial port and also receive control information (such as reset commands, speed data, and so on) from the PC.

After receiving Serial port data from the Tiva C Launchpad, a ROS Python node will receive the...
