- The displayed controller subscribes to /scan and /camera/image_raw, then publishes Twist commands to /cmd_vel.
Field notes
The visible controller example is a ROS 2 node: it subscribes to /scan and /camera/image_raw, then publishes Twist commands to /cmd_vel. The page also exposes adjustable demonstrations for terrain-candidate alignment, sensor noise, steering response, and obstacle distance; these are presented as mission visualizations rather than proof of a live competition runtime. The site identifies the event as a 2027 collaboration between Tesla Club IIIT Allahabad and Aparoksha.
