This ROS package contains a ROS node that allows for a simple translation and rotation based on velocities and distance/rotation, and for stop if there is anything immediately in front of it, based on laser scanner.

• ROS -- tested on Melodic, but other versions may work.
• colcon -- used for building the application.

Once cloned in a ROS workspace, e.g., ros_workspace/src/, run the following commands to build it:

cd ros_workspace
colcon build

Run first the robot nodes or simulator. Then, source and use the launch file:

source ros_workspace/install/setup.sh
roslaunch simple_motion simple_motion.launch
