Other Examples

To help get you get started on your software development, here are examples of nodes to have the stretch perform simple tasks.

	Tutorial	Description
1	Teleoperate Stretch with a Node	Use a python script that sends velocity commands.
2	Filter Laser Scans	Publish new scan ranges that are directly in front of Stretch.
3	Mobile Base Collision Avoidance	Stop Stretch from running into a wall.
4	Give Stretch a Balloon	Create a "balloon" marker that goes where ever Stretch goes.
5	Print Joint States	Print the joint states of Stretch.
6	Store Effort Values	Print, store, and plot the effort values of the Stretch robot.
7	Capture Image	Capture images from the RealSense camera data.
8	Voice to Text	Interpret speech and save transcript to a text file.
9	Voice Teleoperation of Base	Use speech to teleoperate the mobile base.
