Getting Started with a Universal Robot and ROS-Industrial
- This stack is part of the ROS-Industrial program. It currently contains packages that provide nodes for communication with Universal's industrial robot controllers, URDF models for various robot arms and associated MoveIt packages.
cd ~/Desktop/catkin_ws/src
git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot.git
cd ..
# checking dependencies
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
Now we have build the package successfully.
Next step, if we want to use it on UR5/UR10 Robot entity , we have to do the following:
- Firstly, we need tyo download
ur_modern_driver
cd
git clone https://github.com/ThomasTimm/ur_modern_driver.git
Or you can download it directly from the repository and rename it with ur_modern_driver
编译ur_modern_driver的时候出现错误：
