Incorrect Teleop Link in ROS 2 Robot Management Tutorials

Dear ERC Organizers,

While reviewing the ROS 2 Robot Management tutorials for the Panther and Lynx platforms (Robot Management and Configuration | Husarion), we noticed a discrepancy regarding the teleop_twist_keyboard package - GitHub - ros-teleop/teleop_twist_keyboard: Generic Keyboard Teleop for ROS

The documentation provides the following ROS 2 command:


ros2 run teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard --ros-args -p repeat_rate:=10.0

However, the hyperlink points to the ROS 1 version of the repository, and the ROS 2 version(ROS Index) does not currently support the repeat_rate parameter. Since this parameter seems essential for meeting the control frequency requirements mentioned in the tutorials, it may lead to confusion or unexpected behavior during setup.

We hope this helps in refining the documentation for future participants.

To address the issue temporarily, we have modified the teleop_twist_keyboard package to incorporate a configurable repeat_rate parameter.

Best regards,

Team DJS Antariksh
