New repository: pandora-auth-ros-pkg

Announcement by Miltiadis Allamanis to ros-users

Hello ROS Community!

The PANDORA Robotics Team at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece wants to announce our new ROS repository at https://github.com/pandora-auth-ros-pkg/pandora-auth-ros-pkg.

The repository contains, for now, two stacks:

• ros_pandora_generic contains packages that are platform-independent. Packages include utilities such as a remote watchdog timer, a remote mutex/counter. We have also implemented a wrap-around the Google Mocking framework and created mock objects for Subscribers/ Service Servers/ ActionLib Servers to be used for testing (such as range tests). There are also a number of other utility classes for testing. Finally, we include an EPOS Gateway implementation, that we have used for our motors.
• ros_pandora_platform_specific contains packages that are specific to our PANDORA robot, build for the RoboCup Rescue 2011 Competition. More specifically, there are currently two packages using our testing utilities to test interfaces and perform range tests and one package implementing our Qt GUI.

We will continue to update our repository with new packages throughout the next months.

Best regards
