The following remastered Ubuntu distributions have been available:

  • Version 0.3.0 contains Ubuntu 10.04 with ROS Electric
  • Version 0.4.0 contains Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Fuerte
  • Version 1.0.0 contains Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Hydro

Version 1.0.0 is shipped since February 2015 with every new youBot.

All versions include all the drivers and applications for controlling the KUKA youBot. Beside these, they are equivalent to the standard distributions and can be used as bootable live media or for installation. They can be used on almost any PC and are not limited to the onboard PC of the KUKA youBot.

Creating the Live media

Download the iso images from our [[1]]. The next step is to create bootable usb stick, on Ubuntu this can be done e.g. with the program Startup Disc Creator.

Installing the Ubuntu operating system from the youBot Live-USB

NOTE: Before you start the installation, make a backup of your hard disk. You should also be familiar with making partitions, before you make any changes.

Depend on hardware you use you may need to enable booting from usb or press some key to enter boot menu.

In the boot menu you have to select usb as a booting device and install operating system. The installation steps are the standard installation routine of Ubuntu as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall

NOTE: There is just one exception compared to the standard installation. If the “Who are you?” window appears, you have to set a name, but this will have no effect to your system. After the installation there will always be the user "youbot" with password "youbot". You can only change the name of your PC.
