1.3.1 R2D2 Setup

Note: This tutorial assumes that you have completed tutorials:

• Ubuntu on VM
• ROS on Ubuntu

$\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Note:}}$ This page provides instructions only for ROS2. Please note that these instructions are specifically for ROS2. If you are using ROS1, please refer to the TurtleBot2 installation guide.

For the ROS#/ROS2 tutorials, we will use a slightly modified R2D2 example robot urdf provided in the official ROS tutorials. The basic R2D2 model is included in the following official packages. Although a modified version is included in the file_server2 package (see File Server Package), it often requires the base model to work.

Installation Steps

1. Update your package index:

   sudo apt update

2. Install the necessary package:

   sudo apt install ros-humble-urdf-tutorial ros-humble-urdf-launch ros-humble-urdf-test ros-humble-urdf-sim-tutorial ros-humble-urdf

3. Verify the installation:

   ros2 pkg list | grep urdf_tutorial

   You should see urdf_tutorial listed in the output.
