- 4.Additionally, you can configure the system settings to utilize all cores and RAM in the system settings.
- 5.To make use of the shared folder, update the shared folders settings to a existing folder.

- 6.Start the VM and log in with the password
RoboDog3
.
- 1.If you're using the VM from above, the
rbd_packages
folder is already available in the~/git/
folder and symbolically linked to the catkin workspace~/ROSWorkspaces/BA/src/
. - 2.To execute the ROS commands, change to the catkin workspace with
cd ~/ROSWorkspaces/BA
.
- 1.
- 2.1source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash2cd3mkdir ROSWorkspaces/BA/src4cd ~/ROSWorkspaces/BA5catkin init6catkin build7source devel/setup.bash
- 3.Link the rbd_packages folder symbolically to the new catkin workspace:
ln -s ~/git/rbd_packages/rbd_ros_local ~/ROSWorkspaces/BA/src
. - 4.Build the packages with
catkin build
. - 5.
source devel/setup.bash
.
- 1.Mount the camera mount to the ZED2 Stereo camera.
- 2.Mount the camera with the camera mount to the robot.
- 3.Insert two M3 screws diagonally into the LiDAR mount.
- 4.Connect the power cable to the 19 V output and the LiDAR's USB-cable to the robot.
- 5.Mount the LiDAR mount onto the robot.
- 6.Connect the ZED2 camera via its USB-cable.
- 1.Check the battery status by pressing the power button located on the battery on the left-hand side once.
- 2.Start the robot by pressing the power button once and then holding it until the LEDs begin to move.
- 3.After a few seconds connect your local machine to the Unitree's WiFi hotspot.
- 4.Unplug the USB-cable of the LiDAR for one second, then plug it back in.
- 5.Check the connection to the robot with
ping [email protected]
. - 6.Start the whole system by running
./rbd_startup.sh
in your home directory. - 7.Now the GUI, camera image and Rviz should open a window on your local machine.
