Install manuals

Ubuntu real time kernel

Setting up the realtime kernel: [1] If error regarding signature of kernel is thrown, use these extra steps to create a signed kernel: [2] + disable secure boot in BIOS

ORCA

Installation of ORCA and dependencies: [3] Note, installation of ORCA will also install iDynTree, qpOASES and Eigen3. Alternatively one could install the dependencies manually.

• git clone https://github.com/syroco/orca
• cd orca
• mkdir build ; cd build
• cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
• cmake --build .
• sudo cmake --build . --target install

Depending on the installation, libaries and header files in subdirectories named with a version number may not be found. Symbolic links may be required for the package to work:

• torque_qp
  • configure a catkin workspace that extends the franka_ros_ws

Configure a catkin workspace that extends the franka_ros_ws. mkdir -p ~/auctus_ws/src cd ~/auctus_ws catkin config --init --extend ~/franka_ros_ws/devel --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DFranka_DIR:PATH=~/franka_ros_ws/libfranka/build -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-std=c++11

• • install torque_qp

cd ~/auctus_ws/src git clone https://gitlab.inria.fr/auctus/panda/torque_qp.git wstool init wstool merge torque_qp/torque_qp.rosinstall wstool update cd .. rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y catkin build

• change envirionment variables
  • Add in your bashrc source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
  • Add in your bashrc export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/share/gazebo-9:~/auctus_ws/src/franka_description/worlds and export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=~/auctus_ws/src/franka_description/robots
  • If its the first you install gazebo launch it: gazebo. Wait for it to launch then close it.

Notes

• check and fix package installations:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

• check if urdf works check_urdf /path/to/file.urdf
• use static transform publisher and different namespaces to have multiple robots in one envirionment visualized in rviz.
