Requirement | |
---|---|
The Starter Kit should be rigidly fixed to the UGV. Ie. It should not move or rotate relative to the UGVs base_link. | |
Once mounted, the XYZ position of the Starter Kit frame relative to the base_link frame has been noted here: X: , Y: , Z: | |
The Starter Kit is connected to the base robot computer via a gigabit ethernet cable (Cat6(a) minimum). | |
The Starter Kit is power by an 18 - 75 V source supplied by the UGV. |
Should any of the external sensors positions need to be moved, the following constraints should be followed:
The GNSS antenna is to be placed upright, on an unobstructed part of the UGV with clear visibility.
The RealSense D435f cameras should be placed with a minimal amount of their field of view (FoV) obstructed by the UGV body.
The new XYZ position of the GNSS antenna and/or the Realsense D435f cameras relative to the Starter Kit Frame are noted below:
