Since I decided to add an Asus Xtion Pro Live to MyzharBot, I had a hard question to reply: how do I fasten the sensor to the robot? Today I finally solved the problem using a 3D printed support designed by a user from Thingiverse website.
I finally added Asus Xtion Pro Live to the virtual model of MyzharBot (not yet fully complete) in Rviz GUI. The result is the following To obtain this result you must run the following commands, every one in a different terminal: $ roslaunch ros_myzharbot_robot myzharbot.launch runs the “serial_bridge” node to…
A short post to show the potentiality of the Asus Xtion Pro Live used in the ROS framework. First of all an image of the full RGB-D power: 3D pointcloud with RGB information in Rviz In the middle of the 3D pointcloud you can see the simulation of the 2D laserscan…
The guide to install OpenNI2 library on NVidia Jetson TK1 has been updated with the instruction to add the RGB-D sensor Asus Xtion Pro Live to the ROS framework. You can find the full guide in the software section. The next step will see the generation of the RGB Point…
After a lot of tentatives and many failures, I finally compiled correctly the OpenNI2 library for the NVidia Jetson TK1 to make working the RGB-D sensor “Asus Xtion Pro Live”. In the following two pictures you can see the sensor connected to the Jetson TK1 and the tool NiViewer running. The…
The works on Asus XTion Pro Live goes on. The grabber has been added to SDK even it is still in embrional phase. On Github you can find the test application (Test-AsusXTionProLive-OpenNI2) made in Qt5 and tested under Windows 8.1. The application tests the acquisition of the data from the…
Today I received the sensor that will replace the double webcam to allow to MyzharBot to “see” in 3D. The sensor is the Asus XTion Pro Live. XTion Pro Live is a RGB-D sensor, namely a normal RGB camera which every pixel has depth informations. Its operation is based on…
