I don't think that this should have a leading slash on the value. That makes it not play well with namespaces.

Also thinking about it we probably actually want to keep the nodelet manager name the same and run the nodelets together. Even if it's a low bandwidth connection running in the same process will help.

Hi @tfoote -- good catch on the leading slash on the manager name.
The reason I created an independent manager to run the follower nodelet itself, rather than running it in the camera_nodelet_manager like it was previously, is because when you abstract away the goal generation, you can no longer guarantee that the camera_nodelet_manager will still exist.
The centroid-based goal generation implemented here launches the camera in the standard way, and runs in the same nodelet manager as that camera to efficiently avoid copying the camera data stream. However, the RealSense Person goal generation nodelet linked above relies on the RealSense Person package, which is not turtlebot-specific, cannot launch the camera in the standard way (it needs to configure additional dimension and framerate options that are not passed through the standard turtlebot_bringup camera launcher), and does not call its nodelet manager camera_nodelet_manager.
Further, since any nodelet could be used to generate the goals, a totally different sensor mechanism that does not rely on cameras at all (e.g., lidar) could be used to tell the robot where to follow.
