How to run a local robot arm with ROS

compas_fab

Hi, every one.
In compas_fab, there are demos for running various robot arms(ex.ABB, KUKA and UR) with ROS.

I would like to run a local robot arm model with ROS, not the one in the demo. Is there any way to run this?

I can run docker on Window10 pro, and I can display my robot arm model in urdf file as shown in the movie.
Now, I don’t run this arm model with ROS.

And I’ve uploaded a video of it in action, so check it out.

Cool demo! So, this seems to work very well! Now, what do you want to get done? Do you want to run this in ROS? May I ask which model of robot is that?

Thanks!

Hi, @gonzalocasas

Thank you for your reply and watching the demo.

I want to run ROS to use “Moveit” .
I had a file called “038_robot_playground_ur5.ghx” in your workshop（https://github.com/gramaziokohler/workshop_tokyo_2020/tree/master/examples）, and I was running a UR5 robot model in Moveit.
I would like to do something similar with a local robot instead of UR5.

The robot is called “myCobot” and is made by Elephant Robotics.(myCobot – Elephant Robotics)
The official Github account is " https://github.com/elephantrobotics ".

The source code for the grasshopper shown in the demo is available on my Github, so please check it out.(https://github.com/YUSUKE-HIGUCHI/rhino-mycobot)

Thanks.
