Professionals, Students

In this learning path, we will set up the ROS 2 system for controlling and programming Universal Robots (UR) collaborative robots. We provide step-by-step instructions for installing ROS 2, MoveIt 2, and the Universal Robots ROS 2 Driver on Ubuntu 22.04. Every learning milestone is validated with relevant simulation tools; thus, the learning path can be completed without having access to a physical UR robot.

The learning path discusses and makes use of the following topics

ROS versions and distributions

ROS environment and workspaces

Installing ROS 2 on Ubuntu 22.04 Sourcing ROS workspaces Running ROS 2 nodes and launching ROS 2 launch-files

Installing additional ROS packages (e.g. MoveIt)

Visualizing robot model in RViz (ROS Visualization tool)ROS fake drivers / mock hardwareUsing MoveIt GUI to control a UR5e robot


Learning outcomes

  1. After completing the learning path, the learner is able to install ROS 2 with additional packages, configure the ROS environment, and test system functionality on Ubuntu 22.04.
  2. After completing the learning path, the learner is able to explain and use the fundamental concepts of ROS (e.g. ROS versions, ROS distributions, ROS workspaces, ROS command structure, and fake/mock drivers).
  3. After completing the learning path, the learner can visualize in RViz a Universal Robots UR5e manipulator robot and use MoveIt GUI to plan and execute motions for the robot.
