turtlebot/rbx1/mrobot uses follower to follow the human body (to solve the problem that the car does not move after running the follower)

Whether turtlebot or roslaunch turtlebot_follower follower.launch can be implemented according to mrobot and rbx1, but if you do not modify the original launch file and run this command, the car still cannot be moved.

Install the driver for your 3D sensor before the following steps, if you are using Kinect, you can install it through this post
