Robot Startup Procedure
Launch the robot’s core systems and verify that topics and nodes are running correctly.
After configuring your Raspberry Pi and flashing the firmware, you can start the robot’s onboard ROS 2 stack. This module describes the launch command and how to verify that all expected topics and nodes are active.
bash
ros2 launch common_platform launch_robot.launch.py
bash
ros2 topic list
bash
ros2 node listExamine the output to confirm that sensor topics like /scan and /camera/image_raw are present and that nodes such as rplidar_node, camera_node and micro_ros_agent are running. If any expected topics or nodes are missing, troubleshoot by reviewing earlier setup steps.
