Open JoshuaGabriel opened 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Interface with Zed2i Camera and add implementation to get it hooked up to ROS

I haven't had luck to make it work in my Linux VM, so I will be getting ubuntu natively on my computer (with nvidia graphics card). Jetson Nano doesn't work with Zed2i.

Describe the solution you'd like Figure out how to use the camera and ros together

Additional context https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/ros/

Some documentation would be nice once someone figures this out

Just an idea, but there is probably a scenario where we should have a depth camera mount on the arm too. I was thinking we switch how we work the depth camera during the traversal and the arm dexterity task. For more clarification, my idea for traversal was to mount the camera on the chassis of the rover, but during the arm task it might be useful to have it on the actual arm. This means having two configurations on how we use the depth camera in the two scenarios.
