ROS2 package source code: Available packages at https://github.com/CommonplaceRobotics/iRC_ROS

This repository aims to bring ROS2 support to igus robots. The main focus and is igus ReBeL in the 6 DOF version, but other devices may also be used. This package provides two communication options:

  • Via CRI ethernet interface to the iRC igus robot control
  • Via CAN directly to the motor controller without using the iRC.

ROS2 EduMove package source code: Available packages at https://github.com/CommonplaceRobotics/EduMove-ROS2

This repository aims to bring ROS2 support to the EduMove mobile platform with Rebel robot arm. We provide ROS2 nodes that connect to the igus Robot Control via the CRI interface. Both the mobile platform, and the robot arm can be commanded. This repo focuses on the basic communication. Higher functionality like SLAM, planning, etc can be added with further ROS2 components.
