Operational Manual for the UR5 under a ROS Architecture
This is a guide which is aimed to give you the basic guidelines before you start using the Universal Robot 5 under a ROS environment. Therefore, everyone who wants to operate the UR5 must read this documentation first. In this document information about computational configuration and requirements are exposed as well as, safety guidelines which everyone who is going to be in contact with the Universal Robot 5 should know. It is worth to highlight the importance of the safety guidelines in order to avoid any hazard.
The UR5 is a 6 DOF robot arm which has been developed for Universal Robot group. Beside the standard functionalities which come included in the Universal Robot software, the Universal Robot group has been working in an experimental package which is released through a public repo, the ros-industrial repo. As part of our research activities, these functionalities included in the UR5 repo have been taken for our group in order to improve it and add more functionalities which would allow us to integrate the UR5 in a collaborative environment.
It is important to highlight that a previous knowledge about the ROS architecture is required in order to understand what is running in the background.
