Dear NVIDIA Community:

Does anyone know how to integrate ZED M Camera into Isaac ROS VSLAM?

I put the launch file for the ZED camera in the Nvidia Docker Container, however, I cannot execute it:

rbonghi/isaac_ros_tutorial/blob/main/03-zed_camera/isaac_ros_zed/launch/isaac_ros_zed.launch.py

However, when I tried to launch it, it says "[ERROR] [launch]: Caught exception in launch (see debug for traceback): Caught exception when trying to load file of format [py]: “package ‘zed_wrapper’ not found,” as follow:

Does anyone know how to install ZED_WRAPPER within NVIDIA Docker Container?

Thanks in advance!

Based on the error, it looks like you may not have properly installed the official zed_wrapper ROS 2 package provided by Stereo Labs.

The Dockerfile provided in the rbonghi/isaac_ros_tutorialrepository will automatically install that package for you (see this line), but if you are running in a different Docker container or no container at all, you will have to manually download and install the zed_wrapper package per Stereo Labs’ instructions.
