PR2 Pick and Place Demo

Description: PR2 Pick and Place Demo in Simulation Using the Grasping Pipeline

Tutorial Level: INTERMEDIATE

Contents

  1. Installation
  2. Compiling
  3. Launching Demo

Installation

For this tutorial, you need to install the 'pr2all' variant of ROS (see installation instructions). On Ubuntu, this means: 

sudo apt-get install ros-cturtle-pr2all

And you will also need to check out an unreleased package with the following rosinstall file: 

rosinstall ~/pr2_tabletop_manipulation_overlay /opt/ros/cturtle/ pr2_tabletop_manipulation_gazebo_demo.rosinstall

Compiling

Now you should be able to compile it: 

source ~/pr2_tabletop_manipulation_overlay/setup.sh
rosmake pr2_tabletop_manipulation_gazebo_demo

Launching Demo

In this demo, we show the user how to grasp a simple object using the pick and place pipeline. 

export ROBOT=sim

roslaunch pr2_tabletop_manipulation_gazebo_demo pr2_tabletop_manipulation_demo.launch

in a separate terminal 

rosrun pr2_tabletop_manipulation_gazebo_demo tabletop_manipulation_demo_exec_test.py

Watch the tabletop manipulation demo:
