# Int-Ball2 Simulator (Isaac Sim)
|
| 11 |
+
|
| 12 |
+
This repository contains a simulator for "Int-Ball2," an on-orbit robot operating in the "Kibo" Japanese Experiment Module on the International Space Station (ISS). Built on NVIDIA Isaac Sim, this simulator faithfully reproduces the behavior of Int-Ball2 via ROS 2, allowing users to test their own programs.
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
## Overview
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
Int-Ball2 is a camera robot that photographs and supports astronaut activities onboard, operated remotely from the ground. This simulator aims to provide a detailed simulation of the actual robot's behavior, enabling researchers and developers to test space robotics technology on the ground.
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
In collaboration with JAXA, SpaceData Inc. has released actual operational data (in ROSBag format) from Int-Ball2, available free of charge. Using this data, you can replicate the robot's actual movements within the simulator for analysis and application from various perspectives.
|
| 19 |
+
|
| 20 |
+
## Usage
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
For detailed instructions on how to use this simulator, please refer to the following GitHub repository:
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
* **GitHub Repository:** [Int-Ball2 Isaac Sim](https://github.com/sd-robotics/int-ball2_isaac_sim)
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
### Setup Overview
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
1. **Clone the repository:**
|
| 29 |
+
```bash
|
| 30 |
+
git clone https://github.com/sd-robotics/int-ball2_isaac_sim.git
|
| 31 |
+
```
|
| 32 |
+
2. **Install dependencies and build:**
|
| 33 |
+
Follow the instructions in the repository's `README.md` to install dependencies, download assets, and build the project.
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
3. **Launch the simulator:**
|
| 36 |
+
```bash
|
| 37 |
+
ros2 launch ib2_isaac_sim int-ball2_isaac_sim.launch.py usd_file:="KIBOU.usd"
|
| 38 |
+
```
|
| 39 |
+
Once Isaac Sim launches, press the '▶' (Play) button on the left side of the screen to start the simulation.
|
| 40 |
+
|
| 41 |
+
### Replaying Real ISS Operational Data
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
You can also download the ROSBag data released on HuggingFace and replay it in the simulator.
|
| 44 |
+
For detailed procedures, please check the [repository's documentation](https://github.com/sd-robotics/int-ball2_isaac_sim#iss-robot-real-data-replaying).
