If You Don’t Have Your Robot Yet

ConveyorBot is optimized to run on a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. If you have one (especially if you have Pi Camera for it), there are numerous things you can do easily*, even if you don’t have one of out Magni Robots. It would be possible to run our software on other platforms, but it would take a lot of effort to edit the various parameters.

• You can install our virtual machine on your workstation. It can be downloaded from the Ubiquity Robotics site. It has ROS already installed.

–or, if you have a machine running Ubuntu 16.04 –

• You can set up ROS on your workstation. The ROS site gives full instructions. By the time yu read this, we may have already migrated to a Noetic version of the software.

• You can connect the Pi to your workstation directly. See the instructions.

• You can generate and print fiducials. You can then recognize fiducials using the camera. See the instructions.

• You can follow the Pi using Rviz and rqt_image_view on your workstation. See the instructions in the Doing More section.

• We are also offering a Gazebo simulation you can run on your Workstation and a couple of demos you can refer to, to get a sense how the ConveyorBot is intended to be running. For more information go here
