# Description
This ROS package contains physical descriptions of the Ana robot build
at IRI. The following files are provided:
* Xacro macro with all the sensors available on the robot.
* Main xacro file to be used to import the robot.
# Dependencies
This node has the following dependencies:
* [iri_pioneer3_description](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/platforms/pioneer3/iri_pioneer3_description)
* [iri_bno055_imu_description](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/sensors/imu/iri_bno055_imu_description)
* [iri_velodyne_lidar_description](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/sensors/ranger3d/iri_velodyne_lidar_description)
Additionally, for simulation the following dependencies are also required:
* [iri_sked_steering_gazebo](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/platforms/iri_skid_steering_gazebo)
* [iri_imu_gazebo](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/sensors/imu/iri_imu_gazebo)
* [iri_velodyne_gazebo](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/sensors/ranger3d/iri_velodyne_gazebo)
# Install
This package, as well as all IRI dependencies, can be installed by cloning the
repository inside the active workspace:
```
roscd
cd ../src
git clone https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/platforms/pioneer3/iri_pioneer3_description.git
```
However, this package is normally used as part of a wider installation (i.e. a
robot, an experiment or a demosntration) which will normally include a complete
rosinstall file to be used with the [wstool](http://wiki.ros.org/wstool) tool.
# How to use it
The *ana.xacro* file can be used to import the robot description for the real
robot and to spawn it in simulation.
The main xacro macro has the following parameters:
* **name:** (default: ana) name of the robot in case there ara several instances.
