 `joy_controller` is the package to convert a joy msg to autoware commands (e.g. steering wheel, shift, turn signal, engage) for a vehicle.
 
+## Usage
+
+### ROS 2 launch
+
+```bash
+# With default config (ds4)
+ros2 launch joy_controller joy_controller.launch.xml
+
+# Default config but select from the existing parameter files
+ros2 launch joy_controller joy_controller_param_selection.launch.xml joy_type:=ds4 # or g29, p65, xbox
+
+# Override the param file
+ros2 launch joy_controller joy_controller.launch.xml config_file:=/path/to/your/param.yaml
+```
