Connecting your ROSbot

info

Brand new ROSbots may have the operating system image with Husarnet already connected to TheConstructSim platform. If you want to connect the robot to your own computer instead, remove the content of /var/lib/husarnet:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/husarnet

husarion@rosbot2r:/home/husarion$

sudo systemctl enable husarnet

husarion@rosbot2r:/home/husarion$

sudo systemctl start husarnet

husarion@rosbot2r:/home/husarion$

sudo husarnet join PASTE_YOUR_JOIN_CODE_HERE rosbot

Connecting your laptop

Install Husarnet VPN client on your laptop (for Linux):

user@mylaptop:/home/user$

curl -s https://install.husarnet.com/install.sh | sudo bash

user@mylaptop:/home/user$

sudo systemctl restart husarnet

user@mylaptop:/home/user$

sudo husarnet join PASTE_YOUR_JOIN_CODE_HERE mylaptop

If you have another OS on your computer, please find the supported options here.

That's all - now you can access the robot over the Internet and use your ROSbot's hostname instead of IPv4 addr, eg.:

user@mylaptop:/home/user$

ssh husarion@rosbot2r
