Running ROS Inside of Pepper

Question

we are currently working on Pepper 2.5.10 and ROS Kinetic. We want to run ROS with our own applications inside the robot. We have tried some of the ROS projects with Pepper robot, but all of the applications run in our computer. We are thinking to install and run ROS inside of Pepper, do you think this is a practical way to do or do you have any other suggestion for this task. Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer 1

You can check these links for cross compilation (compile on you pc and send it to Pepper):

• pepper_ros_compiled
• pepper_ros_compilation

or this one to use gentoo prefix (install useful tools like catkin_make or emerge on the pepper's head so compile directly on the robot) :

• sbre_robot_ros_gentoo_prefix
