\section franka_prereq Prerequisites
\subsection franka_prereq_hardware Hardware
We suppose here that you have:
- a <a href="https://www.franka.de/cart/">Panda robot</a> in its research version from <a href="https://www.franka.de/">Franka Emika</a> that will be controlled throw vpRobotFranka class.
- an Intel Realsense <a href="https://click.intel.com/intelr-realsensetm-depth-camera-d435.html">D345</a> camera attached to the robot end-effector.
Note that this tutorial should also work with any other Intel Realsense camera.
\subsection franka_prereq_rt_linux Setting up a real-time kernel
In order to control your robot using `libfranka`, the controller program on the workstation PC must run with real-time priority under a `PREEMPT_RT` kernel.
This [tutorial](https://frankaemika.github.io/docs/installation.html#setting-up-the-real-time-kernel) shows how to proceed to install a real-time kernel.
In our case, we are using Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS with the real-time kernel version `5.15.70-rt50 x86_64`. The following instructions are to install `5.15.70-rt50`.
<b>Identify your kernel version</b>
- From here we suppose that you were able to install Ubuntu 20/04/5 LTS amd64 that comes with `5.15.0` kernel:
\verbatim
$ uname -mrs
Linux 5.15.0-48-generic x86_64
\endverbatim
<b>Choose and download a kernel version and the real-time patch</b>
- You have to decide which kernel version to use. We recommend to choose a version as close as possible from the generic kernel
corresponding to your Ubuntu version.
At the time it was written, in https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.15/ the last 5.15.x-rt kernel is
in patch-5.15.70-rt50.patch.gz. If you choose a different version, simply substitute the numbers. Having decided on a version,
use curl to download the source files:
\verbatim
$ mkdir $VISP_WS/3rdparty
$ cd $VISP_WS/3rdparty
$ mkdir rt-linux; cd rt-linux
$ $ curl -SLO https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.15.70.tar.gz
$ curl -SLO https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.15/patch-5.15.70-rt50.patch.gz
\endverbatim
- Decompress them with:
\verbatim
$ tar xvzf linux-5.15.70.tar.gz
$ gunzip patch-5.15.70-rt50.patch.gz
\endverbatim
- Extract the source code and apply the patch:
\verbatim
$ cd linux-5.15.70
$ patch -p1 < ../patch-5.15.70-rt50.patch
\endverbatim
<b>Configure and build the kernel</b>
- First, install the necessary dependencies:
\verbatim
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential bc curl ca-certificates fakeroot gnupg2 libssl-dev lsb-release libelf-dev bison flex
\endverbatim
- The next step is to configure your kernel:
\verbatim
$ make oldconfig
\endverbatim
- This opens a text-based configuration menu. When asked for the Preemption Model, choose the Fully Preemptible Kernel:
\verbatim
Preemption Model
1. No Forced Preemption (Server) (PREEMPT_NONE)
2. Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) (PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)
3. Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) (PREEMPT)
> 4. Fully Preemptible Kernel (Real-Time) (PREEMPT_RT) (NEW)
\endverbatim
We recommend keeping all options at their default values.
- Afterwards, you are ready to compile the kernel. As this is a lengthy process,
set the multi threading option -j to the number of your CPU cores:
\verbatim
$ fakeroot make -j4 deb-pkg
\endverbatim
\note If you get the following error:
\verbatim
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'debian/canonical-certs.pem', needed by 'certs/x509_certificate_list'. Stop.
\endverbatim
The solution is to modify `.config` replacing the line
\verbatim
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="debian/canonical-certs.pem"
CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS="debian/canonical-revoked-certs.pem"
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
\endverbatim
with
\verbatim
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS=""
CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS=""
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=n
\endverbatim
and then try a new build
\verbatim
$ fakeroot make -j4 deb-pkg
\endverbatim
- Finally, you are ready to install the newly created package. The exact names depend on your environment, but you are looking for `headers` and `images` packages without the `dbg` suffix. To install:
\verbatim
$ sudo dpkg -i ../linux-headers-5.15.70-rt50*.deb ../linux-image-5.15.70-rt50*.deb
\endverbatim
- Reboot the computer
\verbatim
$ sudo reboot
\endverbatim
- The version of the kernel is now `5.15.70-rt50`
\verbatim
$ uname -msr
Linux 5.15.70-rt50 x86_64
\endverbatim
<b>Allow a user to set real-time permissions for its processes</b>
- After the `PREEMPT_RT` kernel is installed and running, add a group named `realtime` and add the user controlling your robot to this group:
\verbatim
$ sudo addgroup realtime
$ sudo usermod -a -G realtime $(whoami)
\endverbatim
- Afterwards, add the following limits to the realtime group in `/etc/security/limits.conf`:
\verbatim
@realtime soft rtprio 99
@realtime soft priority 99
@realtime soft memlock 102400
@realtime hard rtprio 99
@realtime hard priority 99
@realtime hard memlock 102400
\endverbatim
The limits will be applied after you log out and in again.
\subsection franka_prereq_libfranka Install Franka library
As described <a href="https://frankaemika.github.io/docs/installation_linux.html#building-from-source">here</a>,
to install the Franka library, follow the steps:
\verbatim
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libpoco-dev libeigen3-dev
$ cd $VISP_WS/3rdparty
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/frankaemika/libfranka
$ cd libfranka
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make -j4
$ sudo make install
\endverbatim
\subsection franka_prereq_librealsense Install Realsense library
Following the <a href="https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/installation.md">tutorial</a>,
we recall the main steps here:
\note Since our kernel is 4.12+ streaming Depth/IR/Color is supported and is provided out of the box. This means that the patches are not needed.
1. Unplug any connected Intel RealSense camera.
2. Install the packages required for `librealsense` build:
\verbatim
$ sudo apt-get install git libssl-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev cmake-curses-gui
$ sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
\endverbatim
3. Get `librealsense` from github:
\verbatim
$ cd $VISP_WS/3rdparty
$ git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git
$ cd librealsense
\endverbatim
4. Run Intel Realsense permissions script located in `librealsense` root directory:
\verbatim
$ sudo ./scripts/setup_udev_rules.sh
\endverbatim
5. Build and install librealsense
\verbatim
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make -j4
$ sudo make install
\endverbatim
6. Connect your Realsense camera (we are using a D435) and check if you are able to acquire images running:
\verbatim
$ ./examples/capture/rs-capture
\endverbatim
If you are able to visualize the images, it means that you succeed in `librealsense` installation.
\subsection franka_prereq_target Print an Apriltag target
We provide a ready to print `36h11` tag that is 12 by 12 cm square <a href="http://visp-doc.inria.fr/download/apriltag/tag36_11_00000-120x120.pdf">[download]</a> that you may print.
If you are interested to get other tags, follow the steps described in \ref apriltag_detection_print.
\subsection franka_prereq_calib_extrinsic Calibrate extrinsic camera parameters
Follow the steps described in \ref tutorial-calibration-extrinsic in order to estimate the end-effector to camera transformation. This step is mandatory to control the robot in cartesian in the camera frame.
\subsection franka_prereq_visp_build Configure and build ViSP
Since you installed new `libfranka` and `librealsense` 3rd parties, you need to configure again ViSP with cmake in order that ViSP is able to use these libraries. To this end follow \ref install_ubuntu_visp_config. At this step you should see new `USE_FRANKA` and `USE_LIBREALSENSE2` cmake vars appearing in the CMake GUI.
Now follow the instructions for \ref install_ubuntu_visp_build.
\subsection franka_configure_ethernet Configure Ethernet
Our robot controller has by default IP `192.168.1.1`. Here we show how to configure a laptop that is connected with an Ethernet cable to the robot controller.
Edit Ethernet connections:
\image html img-netwok-connexion.png
Add a new connexion using "Add" button. Choose the default Ethernet connection type:
\image html img-ethernet-connexion-add.png
Click "Create" button in order to create a new Franka controller connection that has a static IPv4 like `192.168.1.10` and netmask `255.255.255.0`:
\image html img-franka-ethernet-edit-connection.png
Click "Save" button.
\subsection franka_connect_desk Connect to Franka desk
Select the new Ethernet Networks connection named "Franka controller". When the connection is established open a web browser like Firefox or Chromium and enter the address `https://192.168.1.1/desk`. The first time you will be warned that the connection is not secure. Click "Advanced" and "Add Exception":
\image html img-franka-firefox-exception.png
Then confirm security exception
\image html img-franka-firefox-confirm-exception.png
When connected, you may release the user-stop button and open brakes:
\image html img-franka-firefox-open-brakes.png
\section franka_pbvs Position-based visual servoing
An example of position-based visual servoing using Panda robot equipped with a Realsense camera is available in servoFrankaPBVS.cpp.
- Attach your Realsense camera to the robot end-effector
- Put an Apriltag in the camera field of view
- If not already done, follow \ref tutorial-calibration-extrinsic to estimate \f$^e{\bf M}_c\f$ the homogeneous transformation between robot end-effector and camera frame. We suppose here that the file is located in `tutorial/calibration/eMc.yaml`.
Now enter in `example/servo-franka folder` and run `servoFrankaPBVS` binary using `--eMc` to locate the file containing the \f$^e{\bf M}_c\f$ transformation. Other options are available. Using `--help` show them:
$ cd example/servo-franka
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS --help
./servoFrankaPBVS [--ip <default 192.168.1.1>] [--tag_size <marker size in meter; default 0.12>] [--eMc <eMc extrinsic file>] [--quad_decimate <decimation; default 2>] [--adaptive_gain] [--plot] [--task_sequencing] [--no-convergence-threshold] [--verbose] [--help] [-h]
Run the binary activating the plot and using a constant gain:
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS --eMc ../../tutorial/calibration/eMc.yaml --plot
\note If you encounter the following error message:
\verbatim
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS
Franka network exception: libfranka: Connection to FCI refused. Please install FCI feature or enable FCI mode in Desk.
\endverbatim
you need to use your navigator to activate FCI. This new security feature was introduced in Franka system between version 4.0.2 and 4.2.2. See known issue: \ref franka_pbvs_known_issue_activate_FCI.
Now you should see new window that shows the image from the camera like in the next image. In this window, use the left mouse click to enable the robot controller, and the right click to quit the binary.
\image html img-franka-pbvs-start.png Legend: Example of initial position. The goal is here to bring the RGB frame attached to the tag over the yellow frame corresponding to the desired position of the tag in the camera frame.
\image html img-franka-pbvs-converge.png Legend: Example of final position reached after position-based visual servoing. In green, you can see the trajectories in the image of the tag corners and tag cog. The latest correspond to the trajectory of the projection in the image of the tag frame origin. The 3D trajectory of this frame is a straight line when the camera extrinsic parameters are well calibrated.
\image html img-franka-pbvs-converge-curves.png Legend: Corresponding visual-features (translation and orientation of the \e cdMc homogeneous matrix corresponding to the transformation between the desired camera pose and the current one) and velocities applied to the robot in the camera frame. You can observe an exponential decrease of the visual features.
You can also activate an adaptive gain that will make the convergence faster:
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS --eMc ../../tutorial/calibration/eMc.yaml --plot --adaptive_gain
You can also start the robot with a zero velocity at the beginning introducing task sequencing option:
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS --eMc ../../tutorial/calibration/eMc.yaml --plot --task_sequencing
And finally you can activate the adaptive gain and task sequencing:
$ ./servoFrankaPBVS --eMc ../../tutorial/calibration/eMc.yaml --plot --adaptive_gain --task_sequencing
To learn more about adaptive gain and task sequencing see \ref tutorial-boost-vs.
\section franka_pbvs_known_issue Known issues
\subsection franka_pbvs_known_issue_activate_FCI libfranka: Connection to FCI refused
When executing one of the binaries that use `libfranka` you may encounter the following error like:
\verbatim
$ ./servoFrankaIBVS --ip 192.168.100.2
Franka network exception: libfranka: Connection to FCI refused. Please install FCI feature or enable FCI mode in Desk.
Check if you are connected to the Franka robot or if you specified the right IP using --ip command line option set by default to 192.168.1.1.
\endverbatim
This error occurred with our robot after upgrading the Franka system from 4.0.2 to 4.2.2 version.
\image html img-franka-system-version.jpg The Dashboard shows that after a synchonization using Franka World, our System version is 4.2.2.
To overcome this error, you need:
- First check if FCI is installed:
\image html img-franka-system-window.jpg When FCI is installed, in Desk you should see this image.
- Secondly activate FCI. For that, as shown in the next image click on `"Activate FCI"` in the Desk right column (1). It will open the popup (2)
that should remain present all the time you want to execute any binary that needs to communicate with the robot using `libfranka`.

\section franka_pbvs_next Next tutorial
You can continue with the \ref tutorial-franka-ibvs that shows how to implement an image-based visual servoing scheme with the Franka robot or follow \ref tutorial-ibvs that will give some hints on image-based visual servoing in simulation with a free flying camera.
If you want to achieve a physical simulation of a Franka robot, with a model that has been accurately identified
from a real Franka robot, like in the next video, we recommend to make a tour on \ref tutorial-franka-sim that is available in [visp_ros](http://wiki.ros.org/visp_ros). Here you will find a ROS package that allows to implement position, velocity and impedance control of a simulated Franka robot using ROS and [CoppeliaSim](https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/).
