# Overview
This is a ROS 2 implementation of the [ROS1 driver](https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/spot_ros) from Clearpath Robotics.

All ROS services are ported, but only the services: claim, power_on, stand and sit were tested.

The `/cmd_vel` topic also works and you can send commands to the spot via e.g. rqt_publisher.

This project is still a WIP.

## Issues
The ros actions have not yet been ported. The RobotModel is not visible in rviz so far.
DepthCloud is not visible in rviz2 either, because DepthCloud has not been ported for rviz2 yet.
The `spot_viz` package is also missing.
This is a ROS2 package for BostonDynamics' Spot. The package contains all necessary topics, services and actions to teleoperate or navigate Spot.
This package is derived of this [ROS1 package](https://github.com/heuristicus/spot_ros).

### Depth image to Pointcloud2
ros2 launch spot_driver point_cloud_xyz.launch.py

### Example Node
The `command_spot_driver` node contains service and action clients. To send a trajectory goal execute:

ros2 run spot_driver command_spot --ros-args -p command:=trajectory
