Install ROS ###\n\nPlease check [the installation page on ROS wiki](http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Installation).\n\n### Step 2. Install ROS driver for Parrot Bebop Drones 1.0 \u0026 2.0 ###\n\n#### Option 1. Without simulator\n\nIf you don't need any simulator, one can just compile from source ([AutonomyLab/bebop_autonomy](https://github.com/AutonomyLab/bebop_autonomy)) with [their documentation](https://bebop-autonomy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html).\n\n#### Option 2. With Parrot-Sphinx simulator\n\n**Currently only works on ros-kinetic (Ubuntu 16.04), not supported for other version.**\n\nIf you also need a simple simulator (powered by [Parrot-Sphinx](https://developer.parrot.com/docs/sphinx/whatissphinx.html)) with some useful scripts, you should do the same instruction as above but clone another repository [StephLin/bebop_autonomy](https://github.com/StephLin/bebop_autonomy).\n\nYou can see [README](https://github.com/StephLin/bebop_autonomy/tree/master/sphinx_scripts) here for more information.\n\n### Step 3. Install this project\n\n```bash\ncd ~/catkin_ws/src\ngit clone https://github.com/StephLin/bebop_face_following\nchmod +x bebop_face_following/scripts/*.py\n```\n\n## Usage ##\n\nThis project does not intergrate everything into one single command (or launch) for safety reason.\n\n### Step 0. Connect to Bebop ###\n\n### Step 1. Launch bebop_driver ###\n\nThe following command comes from [official documentation of bebop_autonomy](https://bebop-autonomy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/running.html). If there is anything different, follow the official documentation first.\n\n```bash\nroslaunch bebop_driver bebop_node.launch\n```\n\n### Step 2. Run Face detector node ###\n\nThis step will create a new node, subscribe image raw from Bebop, and publish position of detected face.\n\n```bash\nrosrun bebop_face_following face_detector.py\n```\n\n### Step 3. Takeoff ###\n\n```bash\nrostopic pub -1 /bebop/takeoff std_msgs/Empty\n```\n\n### Step 4. Run Auto following node ###\n\nThis step will create a new node, and start following the face one detected (depends on `face_detector` node).\n\n```bash\nrosrun bebop_face_following following.py\n```\n\n### Final step. Land ###\n\n```bash\nrostopic pub -1 /bebop/land std_msgs/Empty\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephlin%2Fbebop_face_following","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstephlin%2Fbebop_face_following","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephlin%2Fbebop_face_following/lists"}
