Niryo One ROS stack

(Niryo One : https://niryo.com)

This repository contains all ROS packages used on Niryo One (Raspberry Pi 3 - Xubuntu for ARM).

How to use Niryo One with a graphical interface ?

You can download Niryo One Studio (Linux, Windows and MacOS compatible).

How to install Niryo One ROS packages on your computer (x86) - Simulation Mode

Requirements :

Ubuntu 16.04
ROS kinetic (other versions are not supported)

First install ROS kinetic "Desktop-Full" (tutorial here).

You'll need to install some additional ROS packages :

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-robot-state-publisher ros-kinetic-moveit ros-kinetic-manipulation-msgs ros-kinetic-rosbridge-suite ros-kinetic-joy ros-kinetic-ros-control ros-kinetic-ros-controllers ros-kinetic-tf2-web-republisher

Create a catkin workspace and clone Niryo One ROS stack :

mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/NiryoRobotics/niryo_one_ros.git .

Build the packages :

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make

Don't forget to use those commands before you try to launch anything (you can add them in your .bashrc) :

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

You can now launch Rviz with Niryo One (only display mode with some cursors to move the joints):

roslaunch niryo_one_description display.launch

You can also launch the complete Niryo One ROS Stack instead, which you can control from Niryo One Studio.

roslaunch niryo_one_bringup desktop_rviz_simulation.launch

The main differences between this launch file and the launch file executed on Raspberry Pi 3 (rpi_setup.launch) is that the hardware functionalities are disabled, and you get a 3D simulation view with Rviz.

Note that Niryo One ROS packages have been developed with ROS kinetic, on Ubuntu 16.04. Other ROS versions and OS distributions are not supported.
