robco_ros2
This section documents the robco_ros2 integration as shipped with RobFlow 7.x. It has
not been updated for RobFlow 8, and the interface is not available in current systems.
RobCo Robots provide an interface to the Robot Operating System (ROS).
Currently, ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco (jazzy) is supported.
RobCo's ROS 2 integration is in active development and should be considered alpha-state software. Bugs and breaking changes are to be expected. Please report any bugs you encounter here.
The ROS 2 integration is available as a beta feature, which is not enabled by default. If you are interested in access to the ROS 2 interface, please get in touch with support@robco.de.
The ROS 2 interface on RobCo Robots is mainly geared toward researchers and provides a very low-level interface to the Robot's controller. Depending on the specific interfaces used, some safety features might not be available. Never operate a Robot with personnel within its reach. Always ensure the Workspace is clear of others and read the user manual shipped with the Robot before operation.
