ROS Interface for Universal Robots

Note

The steps described in the sections below describes the process for advanced users who want to leverage the ROS interface to develop more involved applications with Universal Robots. If your prime focus is to control the simulated / actual robot without much consideration to the intricacies of ROS interface, refer to universalrobot object and Getting Started with Universal Robot example instead.

Complete the instructions mentioned in topic first before proceeding with the following sections.

1. Launch Gazebo Simulation with UR5 Robot

2. Connect to ROS Master from MATLAB and Read Current State of Robot

3. Control the Robot

4. Move the Robot Using ROS topic

5. Move the Robot Using ROS Action
