What is nxt_lejos?

This stack provides a binding to connect ROS with the educative platform LEGO Mindstorms NXT, running the leJOS Java-based replacement firmware. There already exists a nxt stack, which connects to a NXT robot running the standard LEGO Mindstorms firmware, using the nxt_python package. The main differences between the nxt and nxt_lejos stacks are:

• nxt_lejos uses the leJOS firmware, a JVM for LEGO Mindstorms NXT;
• nxt_lejos uses ROSJava and the leJOS PC API to establish a USB Connection or a Bluetooth connection to the NXT robot.
