Installation

EPBA is built upon ROS. The installation instructions of ROS can be found here. We have tested this software on Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS noetic.

Install catkin tools, vcstool:

sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools python3-vcstool

Install additional libraries:

sudo apt install ros-noetic-image-geometry ros-noetic-camera-info-manager ros-noetic-image-view

Create a new catkin workspace (e.g., epba_ws) if needed:

mkdir -p ~/epba_ws/src && cd ~/epba_ws/
catkin config --init --mkdirs --extend /opt/ros/noetic --merge-devel --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Download the source code:

cd ~/epba_ws/src/
git clone https://github.com/tub-rip/epba

Clone dependencies:

vcs-import < epba/dependencies.yaml

Build the ROS package:

cd ~/epba_ws
catkin build epba
source devel/setup.bash
