Setting up a new robot

Create a new "custom" image for the robot

Follow instructions in ../submodules/platform/readme.md "Generating custom overlays"

Calibrate the sensors

Follow instructions in ../scripts/calibrate/readme.md "calibrate readme".

Create a new robot config

Use one existing robot configuration (in astrobee\config\robots) as a template.

Adjust the following parameters in the new config:

  • local IPs
  • Picoflexx cameras ID
  • Calibration parameters (obtained from the previous step)
  • Agent name

If the new robot will become the default robot on the granite table, its name can be configured to do so in the astrobee\launch\granite.launch.
