Thank you for your comment! I'm writing up an article about communication between ROS and Unreal Engine via Node-RED. (Personally, I had college exams until today, so I will write it now.) There are articles on each of these communications. The article on ROS and Node-RED communication is below. 404background.com/program/ros-bridge/ The article on Unreal Engine and Node-RED communication is below. 404background.com/ue5/unreal-engine-5-9/
@@background4721 wow this is a fast response! Fingers crossed with ur exams. I will surely check the article out and see if I can implement it myself! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, i was searching for something simular. We are planning to make an automated warehouse and searhing for tools we can use with ROS. So i would kindly ask you if there a real reason to use Unreal Engine with ROS + Gazebo or just UE + ROS or just ROS+Gazebo. As i know Unreal doenst provide as accurate as Gazebo physics system and so isnt that good for good automation simulation. What pros and cons do you find using ROS Gazebo + UE5? Thanks in advance
Thank you for your comment! What I try to use is not ROS Gazebo and Unreal Engine, but ROS calculated numbers and Unreal Engine. I use ROS package to calculate the kinematics and send the numbers to Unreal Engine. In the video, I also send them to Gazebo, and in my other video, I use MoveIt to calculate and send them to the actual robot. The reason I use Unreal Engine to simulate the robot is to do the graphics processing. I am thinking of importing the 3D scanned data into the Unreal Engine and simulating a camera attached to the robot and so on. I just started using Unreal Engine and ROS, so I am still exploring what is possible.
@background4721 Thanks for reply! I will be waiting for your next videos. I'm a embedded developer with a little bit of experience in Unreal, just starting with robotics. Your approach really interested me. We was thinking about using 3d scanned models of our robots in simulation and Unreal handles them really well, not mentioning unreal possibilities of creating vr environments, that will be insane. Would be glad to see more demonstration videos and more technical ones too.
@Phoenix_1974 Thank you for your comment! I use Open Manipulator in this video. The following URL describes how to run Open Manipulator with MoveIt. Please note that it is described as Experimental. emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/platform/openmanipulator_x/ros_controller_experiment/#experimental I setup ROS environment on Ubuntu installed with WSL2. I wrote about how to do that in the following articles. Ubuntu 20.04、ROS Noetic: 404background.com/program/wsl2-3/ Ubuntu 16.04、ROS Kinetic: 404background.com/program/wsl2-4/ I will also publish an article on how to manipulate a physical robotic arm with MoveIt later.
