Azure Spatial Anchors Linux SDK ROS Wrapper
This is a ROS wrapper for the Azure Spatial Anchors Linux SDK, allowing robots (and other devices equipped with a vision-based sensors and a pose estimation system) to create and query Azure Spatial Anchors, allowing the robot to co-localize with AR-enabled phones and Hololens devices.
This is presented as part of the IROS 2020 Tutorial on Mixed Reality and Robotics. Tutorial videos are available for free starting October 25th through IROS 2020.
You can sign up to get access to the Azure Spatial Anchors Linux SDK here: aka.ms/ASALinuxSDKSignup. This is REQUIRED to use this repo. It may take us up to 2 business days to add you. This requires an Azure Devops account.
You should have an Azure Spatial Anchors account in Azure to use this SDK and wrapper. Please see instructions for the ASA Quickstarts to create one. Keep the Account ID, and Account Key, and Account Domain nearby. This is free up to 10k queries/month.
Requirements
- Ubuntu 18.04/20.04
- ROS melodic or noetic
- Azure Portal account with an Azure Spatial Anchors resource.
- Azure Devops account account.
- Signed up for Azure Spatial Anchors Linux SDK, which may take 1-2 days.
