robot-playerjoy(1) console-based client for teleoperation

SYNOPSIS

robot-playerjoy [options] <host:port> [<host:port>]

DESCRIPTION

robot-playerjoy is a console-based client that provides planar, differential-drive teleoperation of position2d and position3d devices. In other words, robot-playerjoy allows you to manually drive your (physical or simulated) robot around. robot-playerjoy uses velocity control, and so will only work when the underlying driver supports velocity control (most drivers do).
