ROS driver now available for Boston Dynamics' Spot

[cbogdon]

Hello Everyone!

First time posting on ROS Discourse. In case you missed it, I just wanted to let everyone know that Clearpath Robotics announced a ROS Driver for Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot. We’ve also partnered with Boston Dynamics to offer ROS-enabled Spot robots to the robotics research and development community.

You can learn more about the package here, or download the driver here.

We also made a short video about it:

Introducing the Spot ROS Package

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Chris

I’ve set it up, went through the code, it seems you actually need a real physical robot and bosdyn.api developer key to use the ROS package
