This repository contains the robot description and necessary nodes to simulate underwater manipulators integrated to underwater vehicles. This repository is complementary to the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Simulator (UUV Simulator), an open-source project extending the simulation capabilities of the robotics simulator Gazebo to underwater vehicles and environments. For installation and usage instructions, please refer to the documentation pages.
This software is a research prototype, originally developed for the EU ECSEL Project 662107 SWARMs.
The software is not ready for production use. However, the license conditions of the applicable Open Source licenses allow you to adapt the software to your needs. Before using it in a safety relevant setting, make sure that the software fulfills your requirements and adjust it according to any applicable safety standards (e.g. ISO 26262).
To simulate underwater manipulators, please refer to the UUV Simulator
repository and follow the installation instructions of the package. Then you can clone
this package in the src folder of you catkin workspace
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/uuvsimulator/uuv_manipulators.git
