Turtlesim

Turtlesim is a simple, educational simulation package for the Robot Operating System (ROS). It is designed to help users learn and understand the basics of ROS by providing a visual representation of a turtle moving in a 2D plane. The turtle can be controlled using keyboard commands or through ROS topics and services. Turtlesim is often used in introductory tutorials and examples to demonstrate fundamental ROS concepts such as nodes, topics, services, and parameter servers. The simulation includes a turtle that can move forward, turn, and reset its position. Users can also spawn multiple turtles and control them independently. Turtlesim is an essential tool for beginners in the field of robotics and ROS, offering a hands-on way to explore the capabilities of the ROS framework.
