[iharsuvorau]

At the end of the step 1 during catkin_make I receive an error about the missing package keyboard_reader.

2 things: the instructions forgot to mention that you need joy (added to readme) and the second thing was unnecessary dependency on keyboard_teleop package. I did not remove the youbot_manual_operation package completely since it still has some useful features in it. Though in the long run all "utility" packages like youbot_manual_operation should be maintained in a separate repository, e.g., youbot_utils.
