Welcome to Aurora ROS SDK

Get Started

Download and install SDK

You can download the ROS SDK suitable for your platform from the Support and Download page on the Slamtec official website.
Alternatively, you can download the repository from GitHub.

Directory Structure

The Aurora ROS SDK contains the resources and code you may need during your development process. The directory structure is organized as follows:

Directory	Description
docs	Reference documents
src	Source code
--slamware_ros_sdk	Source code of Slamware ROS SDK
--aurora_remote_public	Aurora-related header files and libraries

Development Environment

• The SDK is based on Ubuntu 20.04 operating systems and requires the installation of ROS packages.

git clone https://github.com/Slamtec/aurora_ros

2.Compile

cd aurora_ros
source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
catkin_make

3.Launch the node If the Aurora device is in AP mode, connect to the Aurora hotspot.

Run the following command to launch the node:

source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch slamware_ros_sdk slamware_ros_sdk_server_and_view.launch ip_address:=192.168.11.1
