ROS2 xArm 1S Demos

Introduction to ROS2 and robot arms, demonstrated using the Hiwonder xArm 1S, paired with a SparkFun VL53L5CX depth sensor.

Note This repo is a work in progress - subscribe / watch / check-in later for updates on instructions and improvements

Getting Started

Please follow these instructions.

Future Work

Additions

  • Finish adding context and setup instructions to this README (and extend them to Windows, etc)
  • Aggregate multiple point clouds, from various angles, to increase resolution
  • Create first demo node that identifies objects, from the point cloud, and interacts with them, using the arm (MoveIt) - perhaps a shape sorter, or pop it
  • Replace hard-coded values (i.e. for device paths) with ROS parameters

Optimizations

  • Maybe replace xArm 1S and Think Plus ESP32 with xArm ESP32
  • Maybe replace UTM with Docker
