  • Can I use Irobot 675 with ROS ?
    1 project | /r/roomba | 16 Nov 2022
    ROS = Robotics Operating System , Irobot has a version called "irobot Create" that works with ROS seamlessly. I know there exists projects like https://github.com/AutonomyLab/create_robot I want to verify that the irobot 675 works as intended.
  • Is ROS used in industry on actual project?

    You can totally use it for Roombas. The Create 3 (newest one) supports ROS 2: https://edu.irobot.com/what-we-offer/create3. The older ones can be used with ROS 1: https://github.com/AutonomyLab/create_robot.

    To be honest, I haven't really tracked it— the product I work on dropped stereo vision in favour of RGBD, so I don't really know where it's landed. I suppose it's not a great sign that the current generation SDK still requires a login to access:

    https://www.flir.ca/products/spinnaker-sdk/

    And at least one spinnaker-based driver seems to have inherited the "download the SDK from elsewhere" approach, though who knows if that's due to genuine need or just cargo-culting forward what was implemented years ago in the flycapture driver:

    https://github.com/neufieldrobotics/spinnaker_sdk_camera_dri...

    The "proper" approach here would of course be for Open Robotics (the ROS maintainers) to pull the debs and host them on the official ROS repos, as they do for a number of other dependencies [1], but that clearly hasn't happened [2].

    I think a lot of hardware vendors who cut their teeth in the totally locked down world of industrial controls/perception still think they're protecting some fantastic trade secret or whatever by behaving like this.
