Overview

This repository is part of the ROS-Industrial program. It contains experimental packages that will be moved to the KUKA repository once they've received sufficient testing and review.

Installation

Due to the experimental nature of these packages, they have not been released and are not part of any ROS distribution. In order to use them, they will have to be build from source.

In a catkin workspace:

   1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
   2 
   3 # retrieve the latest development version of kuka_experimental
   4 git clone https://github.com/ros-industrial/kuka_experimental.git
   5 
   6 cd ..
   7 
   8 # checking dependencies
   9 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src
  10 
  11 # building
  12 catkin_make

Refer to the catkin tutorials for more information.

Tutorials

Tutorials detailing the installation and setup of the packages will be made available at a later date.

For the generic ROS-Industrial tutorials, please see the ROS-Industrial training exercises.
