The Lego EV3 is the successor Lego NXT in the Lego Mindstorms series of robots. The EV3 will boot from the Micro-SD card if available, allowing developers to run Linux without flashing the original firmware.

At 300MHz and 64MB RAM, the EV3 is a huge step up over the previous Lego NXT. This project provides instructions on how to install ros_comm, the ros communication stack onto the EV3, which allows ROS nodes to run on the EV3 as long as their is a roscore running on another computer on the network.

In order to run ROS2 programs on the Lego Mindstorms kit, there are many steps to achieve: Install Docker CE on your host machine; Follow instruction to install the docker image on your host in order to cross-compile ROS2 nodes into lego compatible executables; Follow ROS official wiki to define your robotic project and nodes

Mar 8, 2016 · If you are interested in running ROS on the Lego EV3 Brick, then you might want to checkout my EV3 Yocto Image (alpha) and the node I created for it. Getting Started is here: http://hacks4ros.github.io/h4r _ev3_ctrl/

ROS Robot With Lego EV3 and Docker: What is this robot capable of? Using this instructable, you will be able to remote control a Lego EV3 robot using your PC keyboard. In my next instructable you will be able to move it by clicking on a 3D map.

Aug 19, 2010 · Currently NXT users can take robot models created with Lego Digital Designer, and automatically convert them into robot models compatible with ROS. The converted robot model can be visualized in rviz, and in the future we hope to add simulation capabilities in Gazebo, our 3D simulator.

This repo contains code needed for operating the Lego Robot Inventor (#51515) with ROS. Everything is very much in development right now, but basic functionality has been demonstrated in ROS Noetic running on Ubuntu 20.04.

Robot Operating System (ROS or ros) is an open-source robotics middleware suite.

NXT is a modular robotics kit manufactured by Lego. There are ROS interfaces for the default Lego firmware (v1.28) based on the NXT-python library by Douglas Lau. The NXT-ROS software stack provides many useful tools to interface NXT robots with ROS.

Feb 29, 2024 · Hi all, I have been working on packages to integrate the Lego Mindstorms EV3 motors/sensors into the ROS2 ecosystem. These packages may be of interest for those who are running a Raspberry Pi with the Dexter Industries…
