[ROS Q&A] 140 - How to Modify a Robot's Coordinates When it Arrives at a Checkpoint?

In this video we are going to see how to programmatically modify a robot's coordinates when it arrives at a known checkpoint. We will use the same technique as clicking on the 2D Pose Estimate in RViz, but with a Python script. This is useful for the robot to know its exact location whenever it arrives at a checkpoint.

This is a video trying to answer the following question posted at the ROS answers forum: https://answers.ros.org/question/278551/how-do-i-modifychange-base_footprint-by-program/
