ROS源码安装teleop_twist_keyboard

成果图

step1: 打开vscode进入之前创建的 mycar_ws 工作空间

step2：按如图结构创建文件夹及文件

step3: 代码部分

    <!-- 以下为新添加的部分  -->  
    <!-- move control  -->
     <xacro:include filename="../gazebo/move.xacro" />


</robot>

step4: 运行 gazebo

（1）在终端执行 roscore 指令

roscore

（2）在 vscode 中 编译启动 launch文件

source ./devel/setup.bash

roslaunch mycar environment.launch

（3）gazebo 打开后，再打开一个新终端

rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py _speed:=0.3 _turn:=0.5

问题汇总

1、[rospack] Error: package 'teleop_twist_keyboard' not found

解决方法

参考地址：ROS源码安装teleop_twist_keyboard

2、运行 gazebo 报错

解决方法

（1）检查 src/mycar/urdf/xacro/car.urdf.xacro 中路径是否正确

（2）检查 src/mycar/urdf/gazebo/move.xacro 中 joint_name 等结点名称是否与之前定义的一致
