Documentation

Full documentation available on Read the Docs.

Quick Start

  1. Install ROS 2 development tools
    sudo apt install ros-dev-tools
    
  1. Create a workspace, clone, and install dependencies
    source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
    export FRI_CLIENT_VERSION=1.15
    mkdir -p lbr-stack/src && cd lbr-stack
    vcs import src --input https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lbr-stack/lbr_fri_ros2_stack/humble/lbr_fri_ros2_stack/repos-fri-${FRI_CLIENT_VERSION}.yaml
    rosdep install --from-paths src -i -r -y
    

[!NOTE] FRI client is cloned from fri and must be available as branch, refer README.

  1. Build
    colcon build --symlink-install
    
  1. In terminal 1, launch a mock setup via
    source install/setup.bash
    ros2 launch lbr_bringup mock.launch.py \
        model:=iiwa7 # [iiwa7, iiwa14, med7, med14]
    

[!TIP] List all arguments for the launch file via ros2 launch lbr_bringup mock.launch.py -s

  1. In terminal 2, visualize the setup via
    source install/setup.bash
    ros2 launch lbr_bringup rviz.launch.py \
        rviz_cfg_pkg:=lbr_bringup \
        rviz_cfg:=config/mock.rviz
    

Now, run the demos. To get started with the real robot, checkout the Hardware Setup.
