| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| luh_laser_watchdog | The Laser Watchdog has two functions: 1. It filters velocity commands for the base to avoid collisions. 2. It reduces the laser scan data to four distance values (left, front, right and back). |
| luh_youbot_calibration | The calibration node can be used to identify the static parameters of the youbot manipulator. The static parameters are e.g. needed for gravity compensation. |
| luh_youbot_controller | The Controller Node is the central component of the SDK. It is responsible for trajectory planning and motion execution. It provides various subscribers, service servers and action servers for different kinds of motion commands for the manipulator, the gripper and the base. |
| luh_youbot_controller_api | The Controller API provides a user friendly programming interface for the motion commands of the Controller Node. This is the most important package for application developers. |
| luh_youbot_gui | The GUI can be used to manually control the manipulator and to manage predefined poses. |
| luh_youbot_description | This package contains the URDF robot model definition. |
| luh_youbot_driver_api | The Youbot Driver API is a wrapper for the youbot driver. It communicates with the motor controllers. |
| luh_youbot_gazebo | Launchfiles and plugins needed for simulation with Gazebo |
| luh_youbot_gripper | This Node is for the Gripper v2 with external Arduino connected via USB |
| luh_youbot_joy_teleop | The Joy Teleop Node allows manual control of the youbot with a game controller. |
| luh_youbot_kinematics | The Youbot Kinematics provides tools to calculate forward kinematics, inverse kinematics and statics of the youbot manipulator. |
| luh_youbot_msgs | This package contains all message, service and action definitions. |
| luh_youbot_poses | This package contains some predefined poses and a library with which pose definition files can be read. |
| luh_youbot_vrep_api | This is a fake driver API that sends commands to v-rep simulation. |
| youbot_driver | A catkinized version of the youbot driver (https://github.com/youbot/youbot_driver). |
