Unity-Robotics-Hub VS ros-sharp

So far I have cloned the Universal_Robots_ROS2_Description and Robotiq_2f_140 (Supported for ROS2) in my workspace. Since I want to implement my Robot in Unity I am following the Unity Integration tutorial and the moveit tutorial.

Hi. We have used the ROS-TCP connector as well to establish a connection between ROS2 and Unity, and have done the ros_unity_integration tutorial.

It's for my thesis, so it's not a library and it's quite unstructured since there will be no further use. I used the MRTK Interface Elements in Unity and the Unity Robotics Hub (https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity-Robotics-Hub). Then I customized everything for the KUKA iiwa Robotic Arm.

Actually, there is no code on GitHub yet. It's a Unity project sitting on my dropbox at the moment. I took the project in the Unity Robotics Hub repo (https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity-Robotics-Hub.git) and added multiple things iteratively to make it work with the Hololens.

Are you using ROS for the robot by any chance? if so, have you seen this? it might do just what you want, incl way to connect between the robot and Unity: * https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity-Robotics-Hub

How is this different from the the official unity for robotics? https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity-Robotics-Hub

RosSharp looks like can handle the visualization in Unity: https://github.com/siemens/ros-sharp/tree/master/Unity3D/Assets/RosSharp/Scripts/RosBridgeClient/SensorDataVisualization

The Microsoft ROS Landing page includes setup instructions for ROS natively on Windows. Additionally, if you are writing a Windows application, you can use ROS#, which includes .net bindings for ROS using the ROS Bridge.

The tools in the Unity Robotics Hub provide a URDF importer (derived from ROS# https://github.com/siemens/ros-sharp) and a low level TCP communications bridge to ROS.

There are several ways of using Unity for robotics. Robotics for Unity is a new field and support is still custom made. Most of the applications out there are proprietary software created by private companies and not easily accessible or configurable by others. ROS support has been recently introduced by Unity itself, and it is a fork from a previous library from Siemens' RosSharp. In my setup, I used the Unity ROS library which works with the latest ArticulationBody types.
