Hi, I am currently doing a project that requires me to use ROS to control the UR5 robot. My problem is that I can't seems to find ways to input the camera to detect objects for pick and place. I have however downloaded the Ubuntu to work it out but i'm still stuck on the next step. Anyone have any tips or idea to help me along?

Thanks.

Before you start on the camera, do you have ROS with Moveit setup and working with the UR5? You should be able to visualize the robot and plan an execute movements. If this is going then you can install a usb camera node and calibrate it.

I'm currently using Gazebo to simulate the UR5 model. I need help with using ROS terminal to control the camera used in Gazebo for UR5 simulation.

What you mean by 'control' the camera. If there is a camera sensor setup in gazebo you'll just need it to publish to a ROS image ropic then you can use it in ROS.

So basically, i just need to have the camera sensor setup in gazebo but how do i get it to use it's camera detection to specify which object it needs to pick and place?

"it's camera detection" What is it's? There are great many different packages that can help with all or part of this, but it's a large and non-trivial problem. If can describe in some more detail the type of objects you want to pick up we may be able to help.

I need to be able to differentiate the different PCB boards and pick the selected ones to place at a specific location.
