Integrate with the Robot Operating System #27

Open brohrer opened 6 years ago

brohrer commented 6 years ago

Becca is intended for controlling physical robots. The superhighway to robot integration is through the Robot Operating System (ROS). This will allow becca to act as the brain of a large number of robots.

Dustin Franklin implemented a ROS integration for Becca four years ago, but Becca and ROS have changed so much since then as to be unrecognizeable. Feel free to use Dustin's work as a starting point if it's helpful.

@markroxor feel free to dive in if this fits your interests.

I see that installation instructions for ROS Hydro are ages old. I cannot install it for Ubuntu 18.04. :(

Yes, it's true. It will probably require starting from scratch to get it going with the latest version of ROS. The original instructions might be helpful, but they may not.

Sorry! It's not a lot of guidance, but it's the best I have for now.
