Welcome to DOFBOT Pro repository

1. AprilTag ID sorting

AprilTag ID Sorting

Before starting this function, you need to close the large program and APP processes. If you need to restart the large program and APP later, start them from the terminal:

bash ~/dofbot_pro/APP_DOFBOT_PRO/start_app.sh

1. Function Description

After the program starts, when the camera recognizes the AprilTag, it will frame the AprilTag in the image and print the corresponding ID value. Press the spacebar to start the sorting program. The robotic arm will grasp the recognized AprilTag block and place it at the specified position according to the recognized ID.

The wooden blocks used in this lesson: 30x30x30mm Machine Code Blocks.

2. Startup and Operation

2.1. Startup Commands

After opening the terminal, enter the following commands:

xxxxxxxxxx
#Start camera
ros2 launch orbbec_camera dabai_dcw2.launch.py
#Start inverse kinematics program
ros2 run dofbot_pro_info kinemarics_dofbot
#Start underlying control
ros2 run dofbot_pro_driver arm_driver
#AprilTag recognition
ros2 run dofbot_pro_driver apriltag_detect
#Grasping
ros2 run dofbot_pro_driver grasp

image-20241018180358193

2.2. Operation

Use 3*3 square wooden blocks. Click on the image frame with the mouse, then press the spacebar on the keyboard. The robotic arm will perform a series of calculations based on the center point coordinates of the recognized AprilTag block and the depth value of the center point's xy coordinates. Then, according to the calculation results, it will lower the gripper to grasp the recognized AprilTag block. After grasping is completed, it will place the AprilTag at the set position according to the ID value of the grasped AprilTag. After placement is completed, it will return to the recognition pose to recognize the next AprilTag. Two terminals will print the center value of the recognized AprilTag and the depth information of this center value, while another will print the real-time calculation process.
