Platonics docker

Make sure you have docker installed. Installation for docker for linux ubuntu

Download the image

A running container is available on dockerhub. To download the image, run the following command:

docker pull maxspahn/platonics_ros:base

Run the container

In order for this container to be useful, it is expected that the controller is running on the real-time computer and that the real-time computer is connected stable to the same network as the computer running this docker. We do not recommend running the controller and the container on the same machine, although it might work.

The controller and its installation instructions can be found here.

First, run the controller on the real-time computer. Then, run the following

xhost +local:docker
./run_docker <ip-of-real-time-computer> <ip-of-computer-running-docker>

Then you can open localhost:8080 in your browser to interact with the robot, record trajectories and execute them.

Build the image

./build_docker
