Hello everyone,
So in my final year project, I have to make a mobile manipulator service robot using AI system and depth camera. The hardware robot of choice is kuka youbot because it's the only mobile manipulator available in the university at the moment.
Kuka youbot uses ros1 indigo and ubuntu 14.04 and my laptop has ros2 humble and Ubuntu 22, the initial plan was using ros bridge and make the whole system run from my laptop. However, ros1 bridge is not working for indigo. I tried using docker image with ros indigo but Ubuntu 14 was so old that I couldnt run visual studio code on it and was hit with multiple failures in building and launching the code(specifically the youbot drivers package)
I need suggestions on the best way to connect and operate the robot
