mc_rtc_ros
This ROS stack aims at providing various tools to use along mc_rtc. The GUI (mc_rtc_rviz_panel) can be built without ROS.
Current list of tools
- mc_convex_visualization allows to publish the convex hulls of a robot as a polygon message that can be visualized in RViz
- mc_log_visualization is a tool to visualize logs generated by an mc_rtc controller
- mc_rtc_rviz_panel is an mc_rtc's GUI client that can be used inside RViZ
- mc_rtc_ticker provides an RViz interface to mc_rtc
- mc_surfaces_visualization allows to visualize a robot's surfaces within RViZ
Dependencies
This stack requires:
- mc_rtc: if building with ROS then the ROS plugin is required
- mc_rtc_msgs: required when building with ROS
- Qt: if building with ROS and RViz then the version that RViZ was built with; otherwise Qt4 and Qt5 are supported
- QWT version 6.1 or later for the corresponding Qt version
