AprilTag Tracking
1. Function Description
After the program starts, when the program detects the AprilTag, it will track the AprilTag so that the center of the AprilTag coincides with the center of the image.
2. Startup and Operation
2.1 Startup Command
Enter the following commands in the terminal to start:
xxxxxxxxxx# Start camera and inverse kinematics programros2 launch dofbot_info camera_arm_kin.launch.py # Start robotic arm control programros2 run dofbot_sorting_3d grasp# Start AprilTag tracking programros2 run dofbot_follow apriltag_follow_2D 2.2 Operation
After the program starts, hold a 3cm*3cm AprilTag wooden block in the image, and the robotic arm will adjust its pose, slowly moving the AprilTag. The robotic arm follows the AprilTag's movement and continuously adjusts its own posture.
Note: When tracking AprilTag, move slowly within the camera's field of view
