UnitreeHardware

The ros2_control implementation for any kind of Unitree motors.

The dynamixel_hardware package is the SystemInterface implementation for the multiple ROBOTIS Dynamixel servos.

It was only tested "GO-M8010-6". "A1" and "B1" were not tested.

Set up

First install ROS 2 Humble on Ubuntu 22.04. Then follow the instruction below.

$ source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
$ mkdir -p ~/ros/${YourWorkSpace} && cd ~/ros/${YourWorkSpace}/src
$ git clone /~https://github.com/KazuyaOguma18/unitree_hardware.git
$ cd -
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
$ colcon build --symlink-install
$ . install/setup.bash

Usage

Start controllers

Dummy

$ ros2 launch unitree_hardware dummy.launch.py

SingleMotor

$ ros2 launch unitree_hardware single_motor.launch.py

Send commands

Position

$ ros2 topic pub /position_controller/commands std_msgs/msg/Float64MultiArray "layout:
  dim: []
  data_offset: 0
data: [2.0]"

Velocity

$ ros2 topic pub /velocity_controller/commands std_msgs/msg/Float64MultiArray "layout:
  dim: []
  data_offset: 0
data: [2.0]"

Parameters

These parameters are described in urdf/*.ros2_control.urdf.xacro
