Installation

Basic Requirements

  1. Install ROS Hydro (Desktop Install Recommended)
  2. Install Gazebo 2.0

Additional Dependencies

If you installed succesfully ROS Hydro now you can install this additional packages: 

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-moveit-full ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-hydro-gazebo-ros-control ros-hydro-ros-control ros-hydro-ros-controllers ros-hydro-robot-state-publisher ros-hydro-image-pipeline ros-hydro-cmake-modules python-wstool

Optional

For the Geomagic Touch (formerly Geomagic Phantom Omni) you have to install additional packages as explained here

Repository Installation

Go to your ROS working directory. e.g. 

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
Use the wstool to install the repository 
wstool init .
wstool merge https://bitbucket.org/telerobcar/telerobcar-ros-pkg/raw/hydro-devel/telerobcar-ros-pkg.rosinstall
wstool update
Check for any missing dependencies using rosdep: 
rosdep update
rosdep check --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro
After installing the missing dependencies compile your ROS workspace. e.g. 
cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make

Testing Installation

Be sure to always source the appropriate ROS setup file, which for Hydro is done like so: 

source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
You might want to add that line to your ~/.bashrc

Try any of the .launch files in the grips_gazebo package: (e.g. cordless_drill.launch) 

roslaunch grips_gazebo cordless_drill.launch
