External ROS 2 Packages

ros2-vicon-receiver

• Written by the OPT4SMART group at The University of Bologna, publishes objects tracked by VICON to ROS 2 topics

• Software repository: ROS2_VICON

  • Make sure to follow the installation instructions given in this repository

• This package makes use of the VICON DataStream SDK, and therefore does not work on some edge-computing devices like the RPi. It must be launched and run on a companion laptop or other computer.

The specific configuration details used by the AREAL lab are given below. The configuration details for different motion-capture applications may all vary, but these are provided to hopefully help out other users of the GT_IFL.
