Repository Details

This repository aims at providing examples to illustrate ros2_control and ros2_controllers

ros2_control Demos

Licence

This repository provides examples for functionalities and capabilities of ros2_control framework. It consists of simple implementations that demonstrate different concepts.

If you want to have rather step by step manual how to do things with ros2_control checkout the ros-control/roscon2022_workshop repository.

Content

The following examples are part of this demo repository:

Getting started

The repository is structured into example_XY folders that fully contained packages with names ros2_control_demos_example_XY.

The packages have following structure of subfolders:

  • bringup - stores launch files and runtime configurations for demo robots.
  • description - stores URDF (and XACRO) description files, rviz configurations and meshes for the example robots.
  • hardware - stores implementations of example hardware components (interfaces).
  • controllers (optional) - stores implementation of example controllers.

The important files to check in each example are:

  • bringup/launch/<example_name>.launch.py - launch file for the example
  • bringup/config/<example_name>_controllers.yaml - parameters with controllers' setup for the example.
  • description/<example_name>.ros2_control.xacro - XACRO file with ros2_control-URDF-tag with hardware setup and parameters.
  • description/<example_name>.urdf.xacro - the main description for for the example used to generate URDF on the fly that is published on the /robot_description topic.
  • hardware/<example_name>.hpp - header file of the example hardware component implementation.
  • hardware/<example_name>.cpp - source file with the example hardware component implementation.
  • controllers/<example_name>.hpp - header file of the example controller implementation.
  • controllers/<example_name>.cpp - source file with the example controller implementation.

NOTE - The structure of packages, folders and files given in this repository is not recommended to be used for your robot. Usually you should have all of the above folders defined as separate packages with naming convention <robot_name_or_type>/[bringup|description|hardware|controllers]. More standard structure can be found in ros_control_boilerplate repository from Dave Coleman or documentation on ros_team_workspace from Stogl Robotics.

The concepts in this package are demonstrated on the examples of RRBot and DiffBot. Those two world-known imaginary robots are trivial simulations to demonstrate and test ros2_control concepts.

Explanation of different build types

NOTE: There are three build stages checking current and future compatibility of the package.

  1. Binary builds - against released packages (main and testing) in ROS distributions. Shows that direct local build is possible.

    Uses repos file: src/$NAME$/$NAME$-not-released.<ros-distro>.repos

  2. Semi-binary builds - against released core ROS packages (main and testing), but the immediate dependencies are pulled from source. Shows that local build with dependencies is possible and if fails there we can expect that after the next package sync we will not be able to build.

    Uses repos file: src/$NAME$/$NAME$.repos

  3. Source build - also core ROS packages are build from source. It shows potential issues in the mid future.
