A Set of Examples for Pyros

• OS is Ubuntu Trusty
• ROS is already known. If not, get informations and tutorials on http://ros.org

• Install useful python packages if you don't already have them :

$ sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper

• Install ROS Indigo : http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu TL;DR :

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop
$ sudo rosdep init

These examples will show you how to :

• launch an existing ROS system (using ROS packages)
• install & configure pyros in a virtual environment
• use pyros to interract dynamically with the running ros system.

Pyros is usable as a usual python package, and can be used from any python environment.

Pyros is also extensible to support other multiprocessing environments, but ROS is the first complete implementation available.
