Fanuc Roboguide and ROS MoveIt
Dear all,
I want to make a simulation of fanuc robot in Roboguide.
This post is bit naive. I want to make sure that I do not miss any configuration steps.
I ask two simple questions here.
This post has two purposes.
- Firstly, to confirm if I follow correctly.
- Second question, at the end of this post.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS bionic and ros-melodic.
Basically, I have ROS/Moveit respositories for fanuc. I downloaded, installed and built these repositories from this link under my catkin_ws.
So far, I create a simple motion planning to a pose goal within rviz / MoveIt using move_group_interface.
My goal is to see the same motion on the Roboguide.
I am following this link to install and configure Roboguide on a windows PC. I have already installed Roboguide. The above link lists the following prerequisites.
- a copy of the fanuc_driver package,
version 0.2 or newer [I have it on my
ubuntu system under my
catkin_ws] - an installation of Fanuc Roboguide [I
have it on my windows PC]
- a Windows PC or VM (as Roboguide does not run on Linux)
Next, On the above link, under section 4.2 Importing, it says.
In the Cell Browser, import the KAREL and TPE sources into the workcell. Browse to your local fanuc_driver package. Since, Roboguide is on a windows PC, and fanuc_driver is installed under catkin_ws in ubuntu system. It cannot be local. Do, I have to copy such files manually?
thanks,
Zahid
