Quick Start

All programming tasks can be run inside of a Docker container, which we provide.

  1. Follow all steps described under Installation in this repository's Wiki.

  2. Clone this repository with the contained submodules:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ika-rwth-aachen/acdc.git
  3. Pull the Docker image that is needed to run our tasks:

    docker pull rwthika/acdc:ros1
  4. If you also want to execute our new ROS2 tasks, then you would also need to pull the following image:

    docker pull rwthika/acdc:ros2
  5. Start ROS1: In a terminal, navigate to the Docker directory of this repository and launch the ACDC Docker container with the provided run script:

    # acdc/docker
    ./ros1_run.sh
  6. Start ROS2: In a terminal, navigate to the Docker directory of this repository and launch the ACDC Docker container with the provided run script:
