ros4link
Overview
This is the homepage from our ros4link project. Our goal is to have ROS running on the KIPR Link Robot Controller.
ros4link is maintained byRoss Mead and Stefan Zeltner from the USC's Interaction Lab.
Our project provides:
- Installation guides
- ROS packages to interface the KIPR Link from ROS
- Tutorials
Installation Guides
There are currently two ways showing how-to how-to prepare the KIPR Link for ROS and install an initial set of ROS Groovy Galapagos packages.
The recommended way is to use our installation scripts. These guide requires only a minimum of Linux and ROS knowledge and consumes less time than the install from source way.
Alternatively you can install everything from source.
ROS Stacks

Warning
The kipr_link stack is still under development. Please be patient.
We build a stack to interface the KIPR Robot Control Software (kipr_link). These interface allows us to use the robot-related functions of the KIPR Link via ROS.
Tutorials
Getting started with ROS: ROS tutorials is a collection of many ROS tutorials including step by step beginner tutorials. Note: The turtlesim-related tutorials are not applicable for the KIPR Link.
