1.3 [Optional] ROS Setup

Installation

If you intent to incorporate ROS into the Evaluation Framework using ROS#, please follow the instructions on the corresponding Wiki:

• Ubuntu on Oracle VM VirtualBox
• ROS on Ubuntu
  • The use case of using ROS alongside the Evaluation Framework as described in this application example uses Ubuntu 16 and ROS Kinetic. However, it should work equivalently with Ubuntu 18 and ROS Melodic.

Usage

Incorporating ROS into the Evaluation Framework's workflow was done for one very specific use case, and thus the source code in EvaluationFrameworkROS contains hard-coded sections specifically adapted to the corresponding use case. This repository does not contain the Unity project and all files required to reproduce this use case. However, the application example and respective source code demonstrate, how RosBridgeClient of ROS# can easily be used to extend the Evaluation Framework.
