Robot Teleoperation System with Web Interface and ROS Integration

Overview

This repository provides a teleoperation system for controlling a robot through a web interface. It features real-time video streaming, WebSocket communication, and ROS integration, enabling efficient and seamless remote robot operation.

Features

• Web Interface: An HTML-based control panel to send movement commands to the robot.
• Live Video Feed: Displays real-time video from the robot's environment.
• WebSocket Communication: Lightweight communication between the web client and server.
• ROS Integration: Sends ROS Twist messages for robot movement control.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: HTML, JavaScript, CSS
• Backend: Python with WebSocket server
• Robot Middleware: ROS (Robot Operating System)

Installation and Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or later
• ROS installed with geometry_msgs package
• Python WebSocket support (websockets package)

Steps to Run

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-folder>

2. Start the ROS Node Ensure your ROS master node is running:

   roscore

3. Run the WebSocket Server Start the WebSocket server to process teleoperation commands:

   python3.10 websocket_server.py

4. Run the Web Interface Open the mk1_4.html file in your browser. Verify that the WebSocket URL matches the server's address and port.

5. Control the Robot Use the web interface to send movement commands:

   • I: Move forward
   • ,: Move backward
   • J: Turn left
   • L: Turn right
   • K: Stop
