Xarm 6

Hello everyone,
I’m working on my thesis using an xArm 6-DOF to fold clothes. Before moving to the real robot, I’d like to validate the workflow with a pick-and-place demo in Gazebo and/or MoveIt (on ROS 2).

If you can share a step-by-step procedure, example packages, or any tutorials/videos, I’d really appreciate it. Links to prior cloth-manipulation projects (simulation or real-world) would also help a lot.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

You can check out the xarm_ros2 package, which provides integration with Gazebo, MoveIt, and more, making it easier to switch between simulation and the real robot:

The documentation includes detailed instructions to help you get started based on your ROS 2 version.
