Establishing a Robot Connection

Before running the first automation task, connect a robot to the system so that it can receive the task.

Step 1: Connect a Robot

Ensure that the PATH is set up correctly and the terminal running SLAM mode is closed. The map file should be found in the current directory.

Physical Robot

ros2 launch lgdxrobot2_bringup nav.launch.py \
  use_cloud:=True \
  map:=<Absolute path to the map yaml file> \
  cloud_address:=<Address of the cloud with port> \
  cloud_root_cert:="/config/keys/root.crt" \
  cloud_client_key:="/config/keys/My Robot.key" \
  cloud_client_cert:="/config/keys/My Robot.crt"

Simulation Robot

ros2 launch lgdxrobot2_bringup simulation_nav.launch.py \
  use_cloud:=True \
  profile:='loc-sim' \
  cloud_address:=<Address of the cloud with port or 'host.docker.internal:5162'> \
  cloud_root_cert:="/config/keys/root.crt" \
  cloud_client_key:="/config/keys/My Robot.key" \
  cloud_client_cert:="/config/keys/My Robot.crt"

The map parameter can be omitted in simulation because it has a default map.

Step 2: Check the Connection

Click Home then click Robots on the top menu bar. If the connection is successful, the robot status will be displayed as Idle.
