ros2 launch kortex_bringup gen3_lite.launch.py robot_ip:=127.0.0.1 use_fake_hardware:=true
Key arguments when launching the Lite arm :
- robot_ip : IP is ignored in fake mode. For real hardware see next section.
- use_fake_hardware:=true to enable simulation (default is false ) .
- Other args like
gripper_max_velocityorrobot_controllercan be left default for basic sim. - (Optional) Gazebo simulation. Kinova provides a
kortex_sim_control.launch.pythat can run all arm models in Gazebo.The given example starts Gazebo (classic) and spawns a Gen3 Lite model (6-DOF) with controllers. If issues arise (e.g. Gazebo mimic joints bug), see Troubleshooting.
For example: ros2 launch kortex_bringup kortex_sim_control.launch.py \ use_sim_time:=true sim_gazebo:=true robot_controller:=joint_trajectory_controller
