## Dependencies
The following dependencies are needed to run the ANYmal locomotion controller.
* catkin workspace setup for the SubT (Ignition) Simulation. See [SubT (Ignition) Simulation](https://github.com/osrf/subt/wiki/Catkin%20System%20Setup).
* catkin_tools package. See [catkin_tools](https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html).

## Instructions
Create the `anymal_locomotion_ws` workspace and clone the cerberus_anymal_locomotion repo:
```
mkdir -p ~/anymal_locomotion_ws/src && cd ~/anymal_locomotion_ws/src

git clone git@github.com:leggedrobotics/cerberus_anymal_locomotion.git # or over https: git clone https://github.com/leggedrobotics/cerberus_anymal_locomotion.git

cd cerberus_anymal_locomotion/

git submodule update --init --recursive
```

Configure and build the workspace. We need to overlay the `subt_ws` workspace because of protobuf version mismatch between one of our dependencies (tensorflow-cpp) and the version used by Ignition Gazebo. Furthermore we build in `Release` mode.
```
source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash

cd ~/anymal_locomotion_ws/

catkin config --extend ~/subt_ws/install/
catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
```

Build and launch the locomotion controller for ANYmal B:
```
catkin build cerberus_anymal_b_control_1
source ~/anymal_locomotion_ws/devel/setup.bash

roslaunch cerberus_anymal_b_control_1 cerberus_anymal_controller.launch
```
Build and launch the locomotion controller for ANYmal C:
```
catkin build cerberus_anymal_c_control_1
source ~/anymal_locomotion_ws/devel/setup.bash

roslaunch cerberus_anymal_c_control_1 cerberus_anymal_controller.launch
```
