Spawning Husky robot with ur5

asked 2019-03-14 19:26:26 -0500

I am trying to get a simulation of the husky robot with a ur5 manipulator mounted on it. To that end, I cloned the Husky package from https://github.com/husky/husky.git and then tried the following command:

roslaunch husky_gazebo husky_playpen.launch ur5_enabled:=true

However, I get the husky but no ur5.

I followed this ( http://wiki.ros.org/husky_ur5_moveit_... ) tutorial. Initially I did execute the apt-get install commands at the beginning of step 2, for kinetic instead of indigo, but no ur5 on the husky. I uninstalled the packages and cloned the husky repo as I mentioned earlier but still no ur5.

I have been at this all day and embarrassingly gotten nowhere. I would appreciate some help.

Are you sure, you did this step?

Make sure you have the husky_simulator packages and husky_ur5_moveit_config packages installed.

Searches for both those packages end up at https://github.com/husky/husky . So I have the husky package installed which contains the husky_simulator package although I have not found the moveit package within husky - I haven't found an independent download source for it.

I was facing this problem too as I'm using kinetic. You can use this package and follow this tutorial to set up UR5 on Husky: husky_manipulation

You will need the package ur_description too, so, you can install with sudo apt install ros-kinetic-ur-description, or clone the main package: universal_robot

Hey,

As you could have noted in the tutorial, this setup is for indigo,

So, in this link you can find the husky_ur5_moveit config which is basically the indigo-devel branch. I guess this should resolve your problem.

Yes, when I tried installing via apt-get install, I did replace indigo with kinetic. I don't think I can use your solution because I don't think there is backward compatibility between kinetic and indego
