Overview
This stack is part of the ROS-Industrial program. It currently contains packages that provide nodes for communication with Fanuc industrial robot controllers, urdf models for various Fanuc manipulators and legacy Arm Navigation packages.
See the fanuc_experimental metapackage for additional packages, such as MoveIt configuration packages and MoveIt IKFast plugins.
Requirements
For more information on what is required to be able to use these packages with your Fanuc controller and manipulator, see the fanuc_driver page.
Installation
The packages in the main repository have been released into ROS Groovy on Ubuntu, making installation through apt-get or synaptic possible. Other Linux distributions will have to build from source.
To install all released Groovy packages, run the following on the command line:
sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-fanuc
This installs all the dependencies as well. Be sure to complete the relevant ROS installation tutorial first. Refer to the Tutorials section on this page for more ROS-Industrial specific information.
NB: The github repository (see the Source link in the Package Summary section) is unstable, however it does contain the latest code and adds support for additional robot models. See also the fanuc_experimental metapackage.
Tutorials
See the Tutorials page for an overview of the available tutorials for the Fanuc repository. Industrial/Tutorials provides an overview of all available ROS-Industrial tutorials, as well as more information on the ROS-Industrial training exercises.
Additional Tools
Some additional useful tools can be found in the fanuc_ros_tools repository.
