A ROS package for Anki Cozmo

(WIP) ROS Cozmo

This package provides ROS interfaces for Cozmo SDK. ROS Cozmo is tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic and Cozmo SDK 1.3.2 / App 2.4.0. This package is inspired by the cozmo_driver package.

Getting started

1. Install ROS Kinetic.

2. Install Cozmo SDK.

3. Clone this repository to your catkin workspace and build it.

4. Install rospkg catkin_pkg:

   sudo apt-get install python3-yaml
   sudo pip3 install rospkg catkin_pkg
   

   • Thanks OTL for finding this workaround!
   • Note that ROS Kinectic does not require python3.

5. Start Cozmo SDK.

6. Run roscore in a terminal and run rosrun ros_cozmo run_cozmo_node.py in another terminal window.

7. Try starting an action with axclient, e.g., rosrun actionlib axclient.py /say_text ros_cozmo/SayTextAction.
