How to start using the HRI

[grafoteka]

Hi @skohlbr thank you for sharing your develop, I have read your paper and is very interesting.

But I have a question, for a newbie researcher in HRI, can you share some steps explaining how to use it and launch your demo?

I'm using ROS Noetic together with Ubuntu 20.04, I have downloaded your repository to my workspace and launch rviz.

$ roscore && rosrun rviz rviz

Then, I try to add a new RViz panel:

But if I try to load any overlay with the QML tag it does not show anything.

I imagine that by default, it will load the scene as Fig.1 from your paper even if I haven't launch anything else in ROS. Is this correct?

I have also search for dependencies, but it says that I don't need to install anything extra.

$ rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src -r -y
#All required rosdeps installed successfully

Thank you,
Jorge

Credit where credit is due, @StefanFabian is the main developer of this repo, I'm just vaguely related ;) I'm sure he'll get back to you.

Hey Jorge,
the UI in Fig. 1 in my paper is an example and not publicly available.
Some QML components we have developed will probably be open-sourced at some point but the UI as a whole is tailored to our robots and software, hence, open-sourcing it wouldn't be of too much use.

Regarding the QML overlay, you can check the console for the error message. I'm assuming it is missing a dependency.
I've added all the missing dependencies that I could identify.
If you want to run the QML ROS demo, you'll need my other repo: qml_ros_plugin

Thank you for clarify that point.

Ok, I will download the other repo and tell you something
