Arm and gripper #62

Closed zkytony closed 2 years ago

zkytony commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to obtain the URDF for arm and gripper? Also, obtain images from the gripper's camera? using the spot_ros stack?

There isn't currently a URDF for the arm/gripper. If you have a robot with an arm perhaps you can ask boston dynamics to provide you with .dae files for the arm components and gripper. You can see the current URDF at https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/spot_ros/tree/master/spot_description.

For the camera, you should be able to use a similar approach to

Thank you!

If you get those things please make a pull request - it would be a useful addition to the driver.

Actually, I just noticed that @estherRay has been working on adding spot arm commands to the driver on her branch https://github.com/estherRay/spot_ros, and has a separate repository with URDF and so on for the arm at https://github.com/estherRay/Spot-Arm.
