The hello_world_demo is an example application to show you how to use the KUKA youBot API and ROS Wrapper for writing your own applications. You can use all the sources in this directory as a template. Controlling both, the KUKA youBot base, the youBot manipulator and gripper is shown in this example.

Installation using catkin_make

You first need to checkout the source code of this program from SVN and then compile it.

cd <your catkin workspace>/src
git clone https://github.com/wnowak/youbot_ros_samples
cd ..
catkin_make

Usage

To run program you have to run a command:

roslaunch youbot_driver_ros_interface youbot_driver.launch
rosrun youbot_ros_hello_world youbot_ros_hello_world

The program will start, moving the base and the arm. The youBot will move approx. 10cm forwards, then approx. 10cm backwards, then approx. 10cm to the left and approx. 10cm to the right. Afterwards it will ”unfold” the arm and ”fold” it again, and finally open and close the gripper.
