teleoperating a ur5 arm with a Leap Motion sensor #57

Hi Andy, I am a student from University of Canterbury in New Zealand. And I'm impressed and inspired a lot by your project on Gtihub. I am actually working on teleoperating a ur5 arm with a Leap Motion sensor for welding(end effector is a welding torch). And I believe I can reuse your fantastic code. My question is shall I use temoto_intuitive_teleoperator(kinetic-leap branch)? If so, I've noticed the readme is not very detailed. How can I make the best use of this package?

Also, how about package temoto2 and jog_arm. Do they help me to teleoperate a ur5 with a Leap Motion sensor? Thanks a lot for your help, Cheers

Steven

I think Temoto2 is not what you're looking for. It's more about swapping sensors and language processing, and still very rough around the edges.

I'll update the Readme for you. Thanks for reminding me to do that. Are you using ROS Kinetic or Indigo? (I hope Kinetic, because Indigo is getting a bit outdated). If you're using Kinetic, please use the kinetic-leap branch.

Did you get the LeapMotion controller installed successfully? If not, I have some hints to help with that.
