Step6. Download the installer

After complete the package selection, click “Download” to get the installer file (edge_insights_for_amr.zip). Once the download is complete, copy the file to your target edge device and run the installer.

 

 

Step7. Keep your Product Key for the step during installation

Please keep your product key, you will be prompted to enter it during installation.

 

Installation

Step1. Unzip edge_insights_for_amr.zip and run edgesoftware to start installation

 

unzip edge_insights_for_amr.zip
cd edge_insights_for_amr/
chmod +x edgesoftware
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
sudo ./edgesoftware install

 

Step2. Change owner for the folder of EI for AMR

 

cd edge_insights_for_amr/
sudo chown $USER:$USER * -R

 

Run Sample Application

In this section, we will setup EI for AMR environment variables and run automated yml file that opens a ROS 2 sample application inside the EI for AMR Docker container.

 

Setup environment variables

 

• Go to the AMR_containers folder:

 

cd Edge_Insights_for_Autonomous_Mobile_Robots_2022.3/AMR_containers/

 

• Prepare the environment setup:

 

source ./01_docker_sdk_env/docker_compose/common/docker_compose.source
export CONTAINER_BASE_PATH=`pwd`
export ROS_DOMAIN_ID=12

 

Turtlesim Tutorial

Turtlesim is a tool made for teaching ROS and ROS packages, below steps will introduct you to start the tutorial.

Step1. Run docker-compose to launch tutorial

To start turtlesim.tutorial:

CHOOSE_USER=eiforamr docker-compose -f 01_docker_sdk_env/docker_compose/05_tutorials/turtlesim.tutorial.yml down

 

TurtleSim start a window and shows the turtle at initial location.

 

Rqt also start for the user to control turtle location.

 

Step2. Control turtle location

Now you can call service to control turtle1 location:

1. From rqt menu, go to “Plugins” > “Services” > “Service Caller”

2. Choose to move turtle1 by choosing (from the Service drop-down list) “”/turtle1/teleport_absolute"

3. Make sure you changed x and y coordinates for the original values.

4. Press “Call”, the turtle should move.

 

The turtle1 will move to the new location that you changed.

 

To close this, do one of the following:

1. Type Ctrl-c in the terminal where you did the up command.

2. Close the rqt window.

3. Run this command in another terminal:

CHOOSE_USER=eiforamr docker-compose -f 01_docker_sdk_env/docker_compose/05_tutorials/turtlesim.tutorial.yml down

 

Object Detection Tutorial

Step1. Run docker-compose to launch tutorial

To start openvino_GPU.tutorial:

CHOOSE_USER=root docker-compose -f 01_docker_sdk_env/docker_compose/05_tutorials/openvino_GPU.tutorial.yml up
