Detailed Description

Mecanum drive controller which can be attached to a model with any number of front/back left/right wheels.

System Parameters

<front_left_joint>: Name of a joint that controls a front left wheel. This element can appear multiple times, and must appear at least once.
<front_right_joint>: Name of a joint that controls a front right wheel. This element can appear multiple times, and must appear at least once.
<back_left_joint>: Name of a joint that controls a back left wheel. This element can appear multiple times, and must appear at least once.
<back_right_joint>: Name of a joint that controls a back right wheel. This element can appear multiple times, and must appear at least once.
<wheelbase>: Longitudinal distance between front and back wheels, in meters. This element is optional, although it is recommended to be included with an appropriate value. The default value is 1.0m.
<wheel_separation>: Lateral distance between left and right wheels, in meters. This element is optional, although it is recommended to be included with an appropriate value. The default value is 1.0m.
<wheel_radius>: Wheel radius in meters. This element is optional, although it is recommended to be included with an appropriate value. The default value is 0.2m.
<odom_publish_frequency>: Odometry publication frequency. This element is optional, and the default value is 50Hz.
<topic>: Custom topic that this system will subscribe to in order to receive command velocity messages. This element if optional, and the default value is /model/{name_of_model}/cmd_vel.
<odom_topic>: Custom topic on which this system will publish odometry messages. This element if optional, and the default value is /model/{name_of_model}/odometry.
<tf_topic>: Custom topic on which this system will publish the transform from frame_id to child_frame_id. This element if optional, and the default value is /model/{name_of_model}/tf.
<frame_id>: Custom frame_id field that this system will use as the origin of the odometry transform in both the <tf_topic> gz.msgs.Pose_V message and the <odom_topic> gz.msgs.Odometry message. This element if optional, and the default value is {name_of_model}/odom.
<child_frame_id>: Custom child_frame_id that this system will use as the target of the odometry trasnform in both the <tf_topic> gz.msgs.Pose_V message and the <odom_topic> gz.msgs.Odometry message. This element if optional, and the default value is {name_of_model}/{name_of_link}.
