TurtleBot3 with OpenMANIPULATOR

The OpenMANIPULATOR-X by ROBOTIS is one of the manipulators that support ROS, and has the advantage of being able to easily manufacture at a low cost by using DYNAMIXEL actuators with 3D printed parts.

The OpenMANIPULATOR-X has the advantage of being compatible with TurtleBot3 Waffle and Waffle Pi. Through this compatibility can compensate for the lack of freedom and can have greater completeness as a service robot with the the SLAM and Navigation capabilities that the TurtleBot3 has. TurtleBot3 and OpenMANIPULATOR-X can be used as a mobile manipulator and can do things like the following videos.

Hardware Assembly

  1. Remove the LDS-01 or LDS-02 LiDAR sensor and install it in the front of TurtleBot3.
    Red circles represent recommended bolt holes.
  2. Install the OpenMANIPULATOR-X on the TurtleBot3.
    Yellow circles represent recommended bolt holes.

OpenCR Setup

NOTE: To use OpenMANIPULATOR-X, you need to upload a firmware into OpenCR by using either shell script or Arduino IDE.

  1. Shell script is highly recommended to upload the firmware as it uses a pre-built binary file
  2. Arduino IDE builds from the provided source code and uploads the generated binary file.
    The OpenCR Arduino board manager does not support ARM based processors such as Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano.

WARNING
Please connect all DYNAMIXEL modules to the OpenCR before uploading the OpenCR firmware.

After OpenMANIPULATOR is properly mounted on TurtleBot3, the OpenCR firmware needs to be updated to control connected DYNAMIXEL. Please follow the firmware update instructions below.

  1. [TurtleBot3 SBC] Download the OpenCR firmware file on Raspberry Pi (SBC) and upload the correct firmware with the following commands. 
    $ export OPENCR_PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
$ export OPENCR_MODEL=om_with_tb3
$ rm -rf ./opencr_update.tar.bz2
$ wget https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/OpenCR-Binaries/raw/master/turtlebot3/ROS1/latest/opencr_update.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvf opencr_update.tar.bz2
$ cd ./opencr_update
$ ./update.sh $OPENCR_PORT $OPENCR_MODEL.opencr
  2. When the firmware is completely uploaded, you will see a text string on the terminal: jump_to_fw

DANGER

Please be aware of pinching your body between the robot joints!!!

When the firmware is successfully uploaded, OpenCR board will reboot and the OpenMANIPULATOR-X will move to the initial pose.
It is recommended to put the OpenMANIPULATOR-X as a similar pose as shown below image to avoid any physical damage during the initial pose.

Arduino IDE

Please be aware that OpenCR board manager does not support Arduino IDE on ARM based SBC such as Raspberry Pi or NVidia Jetson.
In order to upload the OpenCR firmware using Arduino IDE, please follow the below instructions on your PC.
