如果尝试过前面的例子,有没有感觉每次让机器人移动还要在终端里输入指令,这也太麻烦了,有没有办法通过键盘来控制机器人的移动呢?答案室当然的了。我研究了其他几个机器人键盘控制的代码,还是有所收获的,最后移植到了smartcar上,实验成功。
一、创建控制包
首先,我们为键盘控制单独建立一个包:
roscreate-pkg smartcar_teleop rospy geometry_msgs std_msgs roscpp
rosmake
如果你已经忘记了怎么建立包,请参考:http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/CreatingPackage
二、简单的消息发布
在机器人仿真中,主要控制机器人移动的就是Twist()结构,如果我们编程将这个结构通过程序发布成topic,自然就可以控制机器人了。我们先用简单的python来尝试一下。
之前的模拟中,我们使用的都是在命令行下进行的消息发布,现在我们需要把这些命令转换成python代码,封装到一个单独的节点中去。针对之前的命令行,我们可以很简单的在smartcar_teleop /scripts文件夹下编写如下的控制代码:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('smartcar_teleop')
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist
from std_msgs.msg import String
class Teleop:
def __init__(self):
pub = rospy.Publisher('cmd_vel', Twist)
rospy.init_node('smartcar_teleop')
rate = rospy.Rate(rospy.get_param('~hz', 1))
self.cmd = None
cmd = Twist()
cmd.linear.x = 0.2
cmd.linear.y = 0
cmd.linear.z = 0
cmd.angular.z = 0
cmd.angular.z = 0
cmd.angular.z = 0.5
self.cmd = cmd
while not rospy.is_shutdown():
str = "hello world %s" % rospy.get_time()
rospy.loginfo(str)
pub.publish(self.cmd)
rate.sleep()
if __name__ == '__main__':Teleop()
python代码在ROS中是不需要编译的。先运行之前教程中用到的smartcar机器人,在rviz中进行显示,然后新建终端,输入如下命令:
rosrun smartcar_teleop teleop.py
也可以建立一个launch文件运行:
<launch>
<arg name="cmd_topic" default="cmd_vel" />
<node pkg="smartcar_teleop" type="teleop.py" name="smartcar_teleop">
<remap from="cmd_vel" to="$(arg cmd_topic)" />
</node>
</launch>
在rviz中看一下机器人是不是动起来了!
三、加入键盘控制
当然前边的程序不是我们要的,我们需要的键盘控制。
1、移植
因为ROS的代码具有很强的可移植性,所以用键盘控制的代码其实可以直接从其他机器人包中移植过来,在这里我主要参考的是erratic_robot,在这个机器人的代码中有一个erratic_teleop包,可以直接移植过来使用。 首先,我们将其中src文件夹下的keyboard.cpp代码文件直接拷贝到我们smartcar_teleop包的src文件夹下,然后修改CMakeLists.txt文件,将下列代码加入文件底部:
rosbuild_add_boost_directories()
rosbuild_add_executable(smartcar_keyboard_teleop src/keyboard.cpp)
target_link_libraries(smartcar_keyboard_teleop boost_thread)
编译完成后,运行smartcar模型。重新打开一个终端,打开键盘控制节点:
在终端中按下键盘里的“W”、“S”、“D”、“A”以及“Shift”键进行机器人的控制。效果如下图:
2、复用
因为代码是我们直接复制过来的,其中有很多与之前erratic机器人相关的变量,我们把代码稍作修改,变成自己机器人可读性较强的代码。

3、创新
虽然很多机器人的键盘控制使用的都是C++编写的代码,但是考虑到python的强大,我们还是需要尝试使用python来编写程序。 首先需要理解上面C++程序的流程。在上面的程序中,我们单独创建了一个线程来读取中断中的输入,然后根据输入发布不同的速度和角度消息。介于线程的概念还比较薄弱,在python中使用循环替代线程。然后需要考虑的只是如何使用python来处理中断中的输入字符,通过上网查找资料,发现使用的API和C++的基本是一致的。最终的程序如下:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*
import os
import sys
import tty, termios
import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('smartcar_teleop')
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist
from std_msgs.msg import String
# 全局变量
cmd = Twist()
pub = rospy.Publisher('cmd_vel', Twist)
def keyboardLoop():
#初始化
rospy.init_node('smartcar_teleop')
rate = rospy.Rate(rospy.get_param('~hz', 1))
#速度变量
walk_vel_ = rospy.get_param('walk_vel', 0.5)
run_vel_ = rospy.get_param('run_vel', 1.0)
yaw_rate_ = rospy.get_param('yaw_rate', 1.0)
yaw_rate_run_ = rospy.get_param('yaw_rate_run', 1.5)
max_tv = walk_vel_
max_rv = yaw_rate_
#显示提示信息
print "Reading from keyboard"
print "Use WASD keys to control the robot"
print "Press Caps to move faster"
print "Press q to quit"
#读取按键循环
while not rospy.is_shutdown():
fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
#不产生回显效果
old_settings[3] = old_settings[3] & ~termios.ICANON & ~termios.ECHO
try :
tty.setraw( fd )
ch = sys.stdin.read( 1 )
finally :
termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
if ch == 'w':
max_tv = walk_vel_
speed = 1
turn = 0
elif ch == 's':
max_tv = walk_vel_
speed = -1
turn = 0
elif ch == 'a':

turn = 0
elif ch == 'A':
max_rv = yaw_rate_run_
speed = 0

elif ch == 'D':
max_rv = yaw_rate_run_
speed = 0
turn = -1
elif ch == 'q':
exit()
else:

#发送消息

cmd.angular.z = turn * max_rv;
pub.publish(cmd)
rate.sleep()
#停止机器人
stop_robot();
def stop_robot():

pub.publish(cmd)
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
