Isaac ROS ZED Setup — Isaac ROS

Hi,

I am trying to setup Zed 2i camera by following the getting started/sensor setup guide. It seems that guide still provides instruction to the previous version of Isaac ROS i.e. 3.2 and the instructions does not align with the updated isaac-ros-cli workflow. Just want to confirm if that’s the case and if this will be updated or am i missing something. I was able to setup working setup for isaac manipulation with version 3.2. Thanks.

Hello @ali.binjunaid,

Welcome and thanks for the post!

I’ve checked the link you provided and it appears that the instructions have already been updated. Could you please let me know which part you found to be missing? If you could help to point it out, we can adjust it right away.

Hi @vchuang, Thanks for the response. If you look at step 5 in the instructions, it says to make the script executable and run it to install zed sdk. See below

  1. Install the ZED SDK.

Use install-zed-x86_64.sh below if you are running on X86.

sudo chmod +x ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common/docker/scripts/install-zed-aarch64.sh && \
${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common/docker/scripts/install-zed-aarch64.sh

However, in the new release of Isaac ROS i.e. 4.0, these docker scripts and files does not exist. From what i understood, Isaac ROS CLI package is used in 4.0 release for docker management. Or maybe I am missing something or understood it incorrectly. Thanks and sorry for the delayed response.

I’m experiencing the same issue. May I ask if you’ve found a solution?

Thank you for your patience and for highlighting the issue in the instructions. With Isaac ROS 4.0, there are still some limitations regarding package support, and the ZED package is one of those currently not supported. Please refer to the limitation list for Isaac ROS 4.0 for more details. We’ll make an announcement once the package becomes available.

Hi @vchuang, Thanks for the reply. Will try to find a workaround.
