Git clone P3-DX model from https://github.com/RafBerkvens/ua_ros_p3dx Install the p3dx model in catkin_ws

Adjust the P3-DX model to take inputs from cmd_vel topic

Make the following changes in the package you got from Github:

In ua_ros_p3dx/p3dx_description/urdf/pioneer3dx.xml change:

<commandTopic>p3dx/cmd_vel</commandTopic>

<odometryTopic>p3dx/odom</odometryTopic>

to

<commandTopic>cmd_vel</commandTopic>

<odometryTopic>odom</odometryTopic>

In ua_ros_p3dx/p3dx_description/urdf/pioneer3dx.gazebo change:

<commandTopic>${ns}/cmd_vel</commandTopic>

<odometryTopic>${ns}/odom</odometryTopic>

to

<commandTopic>cmd_vel</commandTopic>

<odometryTopic>odom</odometryTopic>
