How to Run the Code

  1. If you don't have them already, download the packages written in section Dependencies with their dependencies using,
     rosdep install PACKAGE_NAME
  2. Copy nao_openni/nao_ni_walker.py to nao_ctrl/scripts/

  3. Launch Microsoft Kinect nodes,
     roslaunch openni_camera openni_kinect.launch
  4. If you'd like to see your self being tracked, which is useful when you control the robot,
     rosrun openni Sample-NiUserTracker
  5. Turn on Nao, make sure that it's connected to the network, check it's IP number,
     roscd nao_ctrl/scripts
     ./nao_ni_walker.py --pip="YOUR_NAOS_IP_HERE" --pport=9559
  6. Make and run nao_ni
     rosmake nao_openni
     rosrun nao_openni teleop_nao_ni
  7. Stand in standard Psi pose, wait for the nao_ni code to print out "Calibration complete, start tracking user".
  8. For a short tutorial and to get familiar with the commands, see the video


IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration of the nao_ni takes (currently) much longer than Sample-NiUserTracker. It's because the message publishing rate for Nao is relatively low. Don't get confused if you're watching your self on "Sample-NiUserTracker". Wait until you see the "Calibration Complete" message on the terminal you're actually running "nao_ni". The plan is to make it independent from publishing rate and thus faster for the next release.
