Installation
Note
Instructions here assume that you are in a ROS2 workspace root directory.
Cloning repositories
In your ROS2 workspace, clone the repository, and install dependencies:
If using Humble or Iron, use the iron branch:
git clone https://github.com/ijnek/nao.git -b iron src/nao
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y
Otherwise, use the default branch:
git clone https://github.com/ijnek/nao.git src/nao
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y
Obtaining 3D model
Due to software licensing issues, the 3D models for the Nao cannot be included in this repository, so it must be manually installed. You will be prompted by the installer to accept the terms and conditions.
Run the installer, and leave the install directory as the default:
src/nao/nao_description/install.sh
For Rolling and J-turtle onwards, the official meshes repository from Aldebaran is used. This package is not available as a binary yet, and so you must clone the repository into your workspace.
In your workspace directory, run
git clone git@github.com:ros-naoqi/nao_meshes2.git src/nao_meshes2
Building
To build the package and its dependencies, in the workspace root directory, run:
colcon build
