Chillitags for Baxter #3

Closed ktiwari9 closed 10 years ago

ktiwari9 commented 10 years ago

Hey there, I am quite new to ROS and I am working with a Baxter and ROS Hydro. My task is to detect a Printed Circuit board in a cpu chassis. I was thinking of attaching the fiducial markers at the 4 corners of the PCB and then use a baxter to detect this. Since I am quite new to this field, I had a couple a questions : 1.) If this code specific to NAO's or can this be readily used for Baxter's as well ? 2.) If I were to use this for a Baxter to detect a PCB what changes would I have to make ? 3.) Could you advise on the steps to be taken to download,build and run this project ? I need urgent help in this regards. Looking forward to hear back from you.

Hello, and thanks for your interest!

ros_marker is in no way specific to Nao. It only needs a ROS image stream, and returns TF transforms for each detected tags.

To use it on Baxter, you need:

I close this issue for now, please re-open it if it doesn't work as expected (or even better, ask on answers.ros.org adding a tag like ros_markers or chilitags)
