Meta package for the Kinect 360 in ROS on the PR2 robot

Installation

To install the package clone the repository into your catkin workspace and build it with catkin build.

cd path/to/your/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/code-iai/iai_kinect.git
catkin build

Usage

This package includes the a watchdog package that monitors the image mode of the Kinect 360 and reconfigures it to use the correct mode if it is not set correctly. This solves a common bug in our Kinect camera setup on the PR2 robot.

Additionally the meta package contains a bringup package to launch the kinect driver and the watchdog node together. Currently the package works in ROS Noetic.

To launch the watchdog alone run:

roslaunch iai_kinect_watchdog kinect_mode_watchdog.launch

To launch the kinect driver and the watchdog together run:

roslaunch iai_kinect_bringup iai_kinect_bringup.launch
