[ROS Tutorial] ROS Control 101 + connect Gazebo simulated robot

Learn how to connect your Gazebo simulated robot with the ros_control packages.

ROS Control is a set of packages and tools that allow you, basically, to send commands and communicate with the joints of your robot in order to be able to control them.

The main goal of this course is to teach you how to integrate this ros_control utility within a simulated environment, so you can use this tool to control the joints of your simulated robot.

During this course you will be able to:
- Know the basic of ROS Control
- Create a control package for a simulated robot
- Create a basic custom controller
