6. Press play in V-REP to start simulation Note that in order to allow the agvs_robot_control node to perform an accurate estimation of the odometry, the RT mode in V-REP has to be selected. Otherwise the robot motion won't match the motion published in the joint_states.

7. Start robot pad (to move the robot manually)

8. Start robot control
