-# Description
+## Description
 
-This repository contains a ROS Python template that can be used to integrate user Python libraries and code into ROS in an easy way. It provides examples of creation and use of:
+# ROS Interface
 
-* Topic publishers
-* Topic subscribers
-* Service server
-* Service client
-* Dynamic reconfigure
+### Topic publishers
 
-The main features of this template node are:
+  - **topic name** (message type): description.
 
-* Has a independent thread to execute the user code (*main_thread*).
-* Has a dynamic reconfigure server
-* Has a configurable rate for the *main_thread* (*rate*)
+### Topic subscribers
 
-# How to use it
+  - **topic name** (message type): description.
 
-The steps to use this template are described next.
+### Service servers
 
-## Create a new ROS package from the template
+  - **service name** (message type): description.
 
-To create a new ROS package from the template, first clone the template repository into the working workspace:
+### Service clients
 
-```
-roscd
-cd ../src
-git clone ssh://git@gitlab.iri.upc.edu:2202/labrobotica/ros/iri_core/iri_python_template.git <my_package_name>
-```
+  - **service name** (message type): description.
 
-where <my_package_name> is the desired name for the new package.
+### Parameters
 
-Change the default name of all internal classes and variables to the desired package and class names:
+- ~**param name** (type; default: value; min: value; max: value) Description. 
 
-```
-my_package_name=<my_package_name>
-my_node_class_name=<my_node_class_name>
-
-cd $my_package_name
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" CMakeLists.txt
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" package.xml
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" src/node.py
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" cfg/Node.cfg
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" launch/node.launch
-sed -i "s/iri_python_template/$my_package_name/g" launch/test.launch
-sed -i "s/template_Node/$my_node_class_name/g" src/node.py
-```
+## Dependencies
+This package requires the following packages:
 
-Substitute the template documentation for a genric one:
+## Installation
 
-```
-cp docs/README.md README.md
-rm -rf docs
+Move to the active workspace:
+```bash
+roscd && cd ../src
 ```
 
-Create a new repository in the [IRI GitLab server](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/). Once created, execute the following command to change the remote repository and push the files:
-
-```
-git remote rename origin old-origin
-git remote add origin <path to the new repository>
-git push -u origin --all
+Clone the repository: 
+```bash
+git clone <url> 
 ```
 
-## Add ROS interfaces
-
-The Python node by default has an example of creating and using:
-
-* topic publisher (*publisher_example*)
-* topic subscriber (*subscriber_example*)
-* service server (*service_server_example*)
-* service client (*service_client_example*)
-
-You can use this examples to add necessary ROS interfaces to your node. Remember to remove or comment the example ROS interfaces.
-
-For each new topic or service, it is also necessary to import their definitions. To do so, at the beginning of the python file (under the *Add any ROS dependency tag*), add one of the following lines for each of the new topics or services:
-
+Install ROS dependencies:
 ```
-from <package_name>.<folder> import <topic or service name>
+roscd
+cd ..
+rosdep install -i -r --from-paths src
 ```
 
-## Add ROS parameters
-
-The python ROS node supports the dynamic reconfigure feature of ROS. To use it:
-
-* Add the necessary parameters to the cfg/Node.cfg file following the same syntax as the examples provided. Remember to remove or comment the example parameters.
-* Add the necessary handling code in the *dyn_reconf_callback* function.
-
-Parameters can also be provided outside of the dynamic reconfigure framework. In this case, use the following command to get the actual value of the parameters when needed:
-
+Compile the workspace:
 ```
-self.<param_variable> = rospy.get_param('~<param_name>', '<param_default_value>')
+catkin_make
 ```
 
-## Basic operation
+## Launch
 
-This package is intended to be used in a Python virtual environment to avoid any possible conflict with some Python libraries already installed in the system. To create a Python virtual environment, follow the instructions in [here](docs/python_virtual_env.md).
+Description of the launch files.
 
-To launch the Python node into a desired virtual environment, execute the following command:
+## Disclaimer
 
-```
-roslaunch <package_name> test.launch virtual_env_path:=`rospack find <package_name>`/<virtual environment path>
-```

+Mantainer IRI labrobotics (labrobotica@iri.upc.edu)
 
-It is possible to disable the use of the virtual environment by providing an invalid path in the launch file or commenting the following lines in the *node.py* file, although it is highly discouraged:

-Once started, all the topic and service callbacks, as well as the *main_thread* function, are executed in parallel. The *main_thread* function is intended to be used as the main loop function where most of the user code is executed.
+You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>
 
-The topic and service callbacks can also include user code as necessary.

-# Create a Python virtual environment
-
-To install and setup the python virtual environment, follow the next steps:
-
-* Install the pip application, if not already installed, and update it:
-```
-sudo apt install python-pip
-pip install -U pip
-```
-* Install the virtual environment library. We use the simple virtualenv tool instead of anaconda because of ROS compatibility issues.
-```
-pip install virtualenv
-```
-* Move to the desired folder where the virtual environment will be located:
-```
-cd <virtual environment path>
-```
-* Create the virtual environment:
-```
-virtualenv <virtual_environment_name>
-```
-* To activate the virtual environment:
-```
-source <virtual_environment_name>/bin/activate
-```
-* Install all the dependencies with pip install.
-
-* To deactivate the virtual environment
-```
-deactivate
-```
