IWR6843AOPEVM: Integrating Safety Bubble Logic Into another Robot

Keven Tan
Prodigy 20 points
Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi, i recently purchased the IWR6843AOPEVM and im testing out the autonomous robotics application.  Currently im a student that has access to a originbot from china and I'm interested in testing the sensor's capability to detect physical obstacles in real-world environments.
I want to know if its possible to integrate the safety bubble navigation logic into a different robot from the turtlebot. Additionally, is it possible to test the safety bubble functionality using only the IWR6843AOPEVM device, without relying on the specific robot?

    Hello,

    For our Robotics offerings, we have the base ROS1 and ROS2 drivers which imports and structures incoming radar data in the respective node/msg/publisher format that ROS1 or ROS2 needs. The autonomous example adds extra code for the Kobuki robot, but it inherently uses the ROS driver to function, thus there is nothing stopping a user from doing custom logic for a different robot. 

    Our devices are originally developed for non-robotics uses, so there is no problem running the sensor and it's firmware with or without a robot. The firmware is the same for both, the ROS driver just parses the incoming data in the structures ROS needs.

    I would suggest the 3D People Tracking example demo, as this includes tracking of human sized objects within a defined zone.

    Best Regards,
