Remote Control Niryo Ned 2

Repository for the Remote Control of Niryo Ned 2.

Niryo Ned 2

The Niryo Ned 2 is a robotic arm that runs on open-source software (https://github.com/NiryoRobotics/ned_ros). The code is designed based on ROS, where there are a number of different ROS nodes, each running a specific component of the robots hardware (there are also other support ROS nodes).

How to use it?

The remote control of the robot is operated with the keys on your keyboard. When the code is launched there is a diagram clearly showing what keys correspond to what motors.

The terminal will print the following lines of code;

To deploy this code there are three possible ways;

1. Use the Dockerfile

1.1 Generate the Dockerfile;

docker build . -t remote_controller

1.2 Launch the Docker Container;

docker run -it remote_controller

2. Use Docker Compose (will generate Prometheus Server)

2.1 Generate Docker Compose;

docker compose build

2.2 Run Docker Compose;

docker compose up -d

2.3 Attach to Niryo Ned 2 Docker Container;

docker attach niryo-ned-2

3. Launch Locally

3.1 Create Python Virtual Environment

python -m venv .venv

3.2 Source Virtual Environment

source .venv/bin/activate

3.3 Install Dependancies

pip install -r niryo_ned/requirements.txt

3.4 Navigate to src folder

cd niryo_ned/src

3.5 Launch Python Project

python main.py

Expected Results

A prometheus graph should be present in URL: http://http://172.27.13.150:9000/. With information regarding the time it has taken to move the arm.

Next Steps

• Add message "Q" to gently quit terminal
• Add time taken in the shell
• Make the step be modifiable, (-0.10 / +0.10) -> (U / O).
• Add Diagram in the remote shell
