Basic placeholder robot with a base box and moveable cylinder arm.

How to build:

  • Run these commands in your workspace:
colcon build --packages-select waybionic_description waybionic_bringup
source install/setup.bash
ros2 launch waybionic_bringup display.launch.py
  • RViz will pop up after the last command with two windows (one big one small)
  • In RViz (big window):
    • In Global Options (left panel), next to Fixed Frame, type base_link
    • At the bottom left, click Add, scroll to and select RobotModel, click Add
    • Click the small triangle next to RobotModel to expand its settings, look for Description Topic setting, type robot_description next to it
    • Click Add again, scroll to and select TF, click Add
    • Use the Joint State Publisher GUI (small window) to move the arm by moving the slider
