V-rep with ROS running across two machines
Posted: 02 Nov 2018, 02:19
Hi,
I have install ROS Indigo both on my laptop and desktop, and they can share information after configuring their IP address. Now, I have MATLAB/Simulink (with robotics system toolbox) installed on my desktop and V-rep installed on my laptop. However, I couldn't use my simulink model to control the simulted robot arm in V-rep.
I tested successfully that my Simulink model can control the simulated robot in V-rep when MATLAB/Simulink and V-rep are installed on the same computer. I guess it is because the V-rep on laptop cannot publish messages to and subscribe messages from Simulink on desktop. I wonder if it is possible to run MATLAB/Simulink and V-rep on two machines with ROS running across them? If it is possible, how to implete it?
Thanks,
Destine
