[Closed] RosbotXL using ROS melodic

Help
1

Hi, I am new to robotics and wanted to run RosbotXL on ROS melodic. Not really sure how to do that, is it even possible? Is there any guide to get this done?
Thank you.

Hello

We are glad that you are starting your adventure with robotics. What you describe is possible, but not recommended because ROS melodic is quite an old platform.

I see two options for you:

  1. Using melodica inside Docker + using rosbridge to exchange messages between ROS1 and ROS2.

  2. Installing Melodica from sources (more difficult than downloading a ready-made image) + using Rosbridge to exchange messages between ROS1 and ROS2.

However, in both cases, working with ros_bridge may not be the most pleasant. If you are starting your adventure with ROS and ROSbot XL, we have prepared a series of tutorials that should be satisfactory for you: ROS 2 Tutorials | Husarion
