Move the real TurtleBot

There are a number of ways to move the TurtleBot using ROS. In this section, we present the following three methods:

• Using the keyboard

• Using ROS terminal window commands

• Using a Python script

Using keyboard teleoperation to move TurtleBot

In a new terminal window, launch the TurtleBot keyboard teleop program on the remote computer:

$ roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch

The output is as follows:
