ROS-I Drivers - On which platforms do ROS and ROS-I run? [closed]
Hello there!
Some time passed since my last approach here, there were other things of higher priority to do so far. There is one more question I would like to clarify, which I didn't fully understand yet.
When browsing several drivers for the ROS-I Vendors, the data scheme pretty looks similar to the one of ROS. For instance the Motman Driver. Also the ABB, etc.
On which platforms do ROS and ROS-I run when connecting to an industrial robot controller?
For me I figured out the following:
- PC: ROS and ROS-I
- Controller: Some machine-language-specific driver
When I accord to the install tutorial of the ABB am I installing ROS-I on the controller in order to get the specific driver to run? I don't guess this is the clue of ROS-I. This is more or less how to use the controller-language-specific driver, that it interacts with ros?
Jeremy Zoss states in this Video at Minute 3:13, that a minimum requirement would be to write a programm that fulfills the communication issues is "enough". I interpret this as a controller-specific-code (the driver for ROS-I) that one needs to implement when connecting to a new controller. The graphic that he uses is in his presentation I interpret like my idea written above. (Once again:
- PC: ROS and ROS-I
- Controller: Some machine-language-specific driver
)
Or what it looks to me: - PC: ROS and ROS-I - Controller: Some ROS-I Version specifically changed for the controller and some machine-language-specific driver
So do I understand right?
