In the RQT window, select 'Plugins > Visualization > Plot' in the dropdown menu. In the window that opens, set the Topic to /joint_states/position[0]. You should see a Sine wave.
With 'Plugins > Introspection > Node Graph' you should see a network of the nodes and topics that are being published and subscribed by the dummy robot.
With 'Plugins > Logging > Bag' you should be able record a ROS Bag file.
With 'Plugins > Topic > Topic Monitor' you should be able to check the /joint_states topic and view messages streaming in.
Expected Result
Rqt runs smoothly and the plugins work as expected.
This is a sanity check to ensure that the GUI tools aren't fundamentally broken.
