Installation

Quick Start

  • Although there are many ways of controlling this arm, we will focus on using moveit
  • To run moveit's kinematic simulation use
    • ros2 launch interbotix_xsarm_moveit xsarm_moveit.launch.py robot_model:=px100 hardware_type:=fake
    • This launchfile can also be used with the real hardware. Read the launchfile and documentation to learn more
