I want to modify the rmf_demos project to integrate my real robot. How can I implement this quickly?

Posted by @akash-roboticist:

The ROS 2 multi robot book provides a comprehensive overview on this ; a link to the integration steps is also linked in rmf repo’s readme - GitHub - open-rmf/rmf: Root repository for the RMF software

@lmmir did you make any progress on modifying the rmf_demos project to integrate a real robot ?

The launch files in rmf_demos are already setup to run with hardware. All you have to do is replace the fleet adapter with the fleet adapter to your real fleets. The rmf_demos_gz package contains launch files that include launch files from rmf_demos, update use_sim_time args, and start the Gazebo simulator.
