Installing ROS-Industrial packages


Installing ROS-I packages can be done using package managers or building from the source code. If we have installed the ros-desktop-full installation, we can use the following command to install ROS-Industrial packages on Ubuntu 14.04.3. The following command will install ROS-Industrial packages on ROS Indigo:

$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-industrial-core ros-indigo-open-industrial-ros-controllers

The preceding command will install the core packages of ROS-Industrial packages. The industrial-core stack includes the following set of ROS packages:

  • industrial-core: This stack contains packages and libraries for supporting industrial robotic systems. The stack consists of nodes for communicating with industrial robot controllers, industrial robot simulators, and also provides ROS controllers for industrial robots.

  • industrial_deprecated: This package contains nodes, launch files, and so on that are going to be deprecated. The files inside this package will...
