## Contains
This repository contains ros2 packages for quadruped robot HyperDog.
packages are :
1. **`hyperdog_msgs`** : this package contains the msgs those used by other packages.

1. `JoyCtrlCmds` : this contains the control variables of the robot from the gamepad
- `bool[3] states` : { start, walk, side_move_mode}
- `uint8 gait_type` : to change the gait type
- `geometry_msgs/Pose pose` : to control slant(x,y) and roll,pitch,yaw
- `geometry_msgs/Vector3 gait_step` : gait_step.x = steplen_x, gait_step.y = steplen_y, gait_step.z = swing_height

2. `Geometry`: this contains the parameters for coordinate of each leg and body orientation(roll,pitch,yaw)
- `geometry_msgs/Point32 fr` : x,y,z end effector coordinates of FR leg
- `geometry_msgs/Point32 fl` : x,y,z end effector coordinates of FL leg
- `geometry_msgs/Point32 br` : x,y,z end effector coordinates of BR leg
- `geometry_msgs/Point32 bl` : x,y,z end effector coordinates of BL leg
- `geometry_msgs/Quaternion euler_ang` : roll, pitch, yaw angles

2. **`hyperdog_teleop`** : this pkg creates `/hyperdog_teleop_gamepad_node.
- Node 1 : `/joy_node`
This node creates commands to robot from Gamepad commands
- subscriber : `/joy_node`
- publisher : `/hyperdog_joy_ctrl_cmd` using the interface `hyperdog_msgs/msg/JoyCtrlCmd`

3. **`hyperdog_ctrl`** : This pkg has `Body_motion_planner` and `gait_generater` and creates the nodes `/command_manager_node` and `/IK_node`
- `Body_motion_planner` : plans body motions from control commands receive from `/command_manager_node`
- `gait_generator` : generates gaits acording to the given gait_type command from the Gamepad

- Node 1 : `/command_manager_node`
- subscriber : `/hyperdog_joy_ctrl_cmd` via `hyperdog_msgs/msg/JoyCtrlCmds` interface
- publisher : `/hyperdog_geometry` via `hyperdog_msgs/msg/Geometry` interface

- Node 2 : `/IK_node`
- subscriber : `/hyperdog_geometry` via `hyperdog_msgs/msg/Geometry` interface
- publisher : `/hyperdog_jointController/commands`

4. **`uros`** : this is the micro_ros package from its official git. this package is used to launch `micro_ros_agent` to communicate with micro-controllers which run micro_ros via ROS2

5. **`hyperdog_launch`** : This contains the launch file for all the above nodes and `micro_ros_agent`

6. **`hyperdog_gazebo_sim`** : Gazebo simmulation

7. **`hyperdog_gazebo_joint_cmd`** : this pkg contains the node `/hyperdog_gazebo_joint_cmd` to send joint angles to gazebo
- Node : `/hyperdog_gazebo_joint_cmd`
- subscriber : `/hyperdog_jointController/commands`
- publisher : '/gazebo_joint_controller/commands`

## Building

1. Create a ROS2 workspace and build this package for ROS2 foxy
```
# make the workspace
mkdir hyperdog_ws/src
cd hyperdog_ws/src

# download the pkg
git clone https://github.com/NDHANA94/hyperdog_ros2.git

# build the pkg
cd ..
colcon build
```

2. build `micro_ros_agent` in hyperdog_ws from the git repository https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_setup/tree/foxy. follow instuction and build the micro_ros_agent.
3. edit line 41 in hyperdog_ros2/src/hyperdog_launch/launch/hyperdog.launch.py script to configure your serial port.
4. go to `hyperdog_ws` directory and build all the packages again


# Launching
source the workspace
```
source hyperdog_ws/install/setup.bash
```
to add workspace source permenently to .bashrc:
```

# add source
echo "source /home/$USER/hyperdog_ws/install/setup.bash" >> ~/.bachrc
```

to launch run following
```
ros2 launch hyperdog_launch hyperdog.launch.py

```

to launch gazebo with hyperdog
```
ros2 launch hyperdog_gazebo_sim hyperdog_gazebo_sim.launch.py
```

# Known bugs:
- gazebo-ros2-control pkg doesn't work properly. So the robot slides on the ground.
