This is a meta-package containing everything to run an ABB robot or simulation with ROS2.

  • abb_bringup: Launch files and ros2_control config files that are generic to many types of ABB robots.
  • abb_hardware_interface: A ros2_control hardware interface using abb_libegm.
  • abb_rws_client: A package containg nodes for RWS only communication.
  • robot_specific_config: Packages containing robot description and config files that are unique to each type of ABB robot.
  • abb_resources: A small package containing ABB-related xacro resources.
  • docs: More detailed documentation.
  • robot_studio_resources: Code and a pack-and-go solution to begin using RobotStudio easily.
  • abb_ros2: A meta-package that exists to reserve the repo name in rosdistro

Getting Started:

There are three ways to use this package:

  • With an actual, physical ABB robot

  • With ROS2 simulating the robot controllers

  • With an ABB RobotStudio simulation. Requires 2 PC's (one Windows, one Linux)

Detailed setup instructions can be found here.

Limitations:

The IRB1200-5-0.9 is the only robot that has robot description and config files as of March 2022. Pull requests to add additional robot types are welcome.
