It is one of the best tutorials about Ros with yolo that I see in Internet, I am a student researcher who do project about robotic vision detection and your video really helped me a ton. Thank you for your contribution!
Very good tutorial and nicely explained! I am working on a robot that should recognize a ball using ML and depth vision and this has been of great help. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Got a question though, is it possible to do "object pose estimation" with just RGB data? If possible, do you think using Point Cloud (just depth data) instead of RGB would make it better for pose estimation? My case is detecting a pallet and it's pose, with a Kinect v1 camera.
Hi Alperen Keser! Thanks for watching my video! To do object estimation, first of all, you have to recognize the object. So, I think it is not possible to do pose estimation with just depth data because you will not be able to recognize the object. Also, you should have depth data to calculate coordinates of the object, but if your objects are all on the same plane and you know the distance from the camera to that plane, you will be able to calculate the coordinates.
Hi. Thank you for your video. It's exactly what I've been looking for. However, I have a question. I have my RGB camera that would be working with the YOLOv8 custom model that I'm currently training, but I also have a depth TOF which can publish a PointCloud depth map. What reference do the bouding boxes have? I need this information to match at least the coordinates of the corners with the depth map. Do you think that's possible?
Yes, I think it is possible to align frames from RGB camera and depth camera. But it will involve some relatively complex mathematical operations. If you would like to use RGB and depth camera simultaneously, I recommend you using RealSense or ZED camera. Probably it will save you a lot of time.
@@robotmania8896 thank you so much. I will be indeed using a RealSense. I will look into it to see if there are already some algorithms to do that. Wish you success :)
Hi nhattran4833! Thanks for watching my video! I have actually created a video about semantic segmentation and ROS2. Here is the link. I hope it will help you. ua-cam.com/video/Z5czzGeRJ4o/v-deo.html
I think that semantic segmentation is more often used in conjunction with other methods rather than by itself. For example, it is used for control of mobile robots, like described in this paper. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0957417421015189
Hi, again. I commented your code a while back, but now I have another question. If you were to subscribe to multiple cameras at the same time, let's say one in the front, one in the right, one in the left and one in the back, you would need to use the threading library in your first code too? Thank you :)
Hi Daniel Felipe Cruz Hernández! In that case you have to define subscribers for each camera and run each of the subscribers in a different thread. In this tutorial, I am implementing this method. ua-cam.com/video/Z5czzGeRJ4o/v-deo.html Please refer to the “robot_control_ss.py” script lines 203~205.
Thanks a lot for the video. I had some questions. I have a ros1 melodic environment and have a custom yolov9 model that detects specific objects. Can I still use your code and just replace my model .pt file instead of yours? If you have any suggestions please let me know.
Hi Najib Murshed! Thanks for watching my video! No, since yolov8 and yolov9 models are different you cannot use yolov9 pt file for yolov8. Since this code is made for ROS2, you cannot use it directly with ROS1. But the inference part should be the same. So, you have to change declaration of subscribers and publisher.
Hey, great video and very straight forward to compile. However, are you planning on posting some videos using the yolobot_control pkg as well ? I don't have a joystick to use the joy node, but I did use the teleop_twist_keyboard pkg to move the vehicle around the world but the commands are swap, if I press "I" to move forward, the vehicle will move backwards and so on with the other commands.

Hi Dennis Jhon Moreno Ortega! Thanks for watching my video! If I understand correctly, you are publishing “/yolobot/cmd_vel” using keyboard.

Hey, excellent tutorial and very well explained. But I have one issue when I try to use my own pretrained model. I paste my 'best.pt' file on the yolobot_recognition/scripts folder, then in the python script 'yolov8_ros2_pt.py' I write the name of my pretrained model.

Have you built the project successfully? To speed up the inference, you should use computer with GPU. Since it is a simulation, camera parameters are defined in the SDF file. No, in this tutorial I haven’t trained YOLO. I just used a provided model. To operate the robot, you should use joypad. You should use source command before doing “ros2 topic echo /yolov8_inference”.

@@robotmania8896 I mean lane tracking. So it detects the trajectory of the black tape. oh okay, thank you for your advice. I would like to ask you a question. Actually I have never tried YOLO. If I want to start learning, where should I start, so that I can do lane traking using YOLO? Thanks
@@BadBrother If you need to detect black tape, you don’t have to do inference using YOLO. You may just use HSV decomposition to detect black color. Here is an example video. ua-cam.com/video/hdnuykRwMmI/v-deo.html
@@robotmania8896I really appreciate your response. I apologise for confusing you. I mean so the robot I want to build uses a Camera to detect the 2 black tape on the left and right and the path forms a trajectory. So the camera is connected to the jetson nano and then the motor is driven by the arduino uno.
I understand your problem. If you know exactly the object and color you have to detect, I think you don’t necessarily have to use yolo. You may do color detection or use infrared sensor to move along the line.

Any idea about this error? Thank you!
You don’t need catkin with ros2. ROS2 packages are built using ament_cmake. Have you tried adding “source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash” in “.bashrc” file and rebooting?
Hi once again! I am using in my work your code to compare performance of the raw yolo8n model with one accelerated with the DeepStream. Do i need to cite you or someone else?
Hi Dgh!
Since I am providing only the zip file, I think it is difficult to cite. So, I think citing is not necessary.
@@robotmania8896 ok, clear then. Thanks for your code!
thanks for this project, could you make a same tutorial using yolov8 and use the tensorRT
Hi Nhat Net!
Thanks for watching my video!
I am currently not planning to make a tutorial about yolov8 and tensorRT but I have several videos related to it. Where exactly are you experiencing a problem?

In the video I am using CPU for inference, but GPU can also be used.
Hey can i use the same code for jetson nano ROS 2 in real-time USB camera?
Hi AishRobotics!
Thanks for watching my video!
Yes, you can. Just make sure that your USB camera publishes “rgb_cam/image_raw” topic.

I trained the yolov8 model on colab to detect the traffic cones.
I have zed2i stereo camera, i want to integrate the yolov8 with with ros2
Hi Hammad Safeer!
Thanks for watching my video!
Do I understand correctly that you want to do inference using yolov8 with ZED and ROS2?
exactly!@@robotmania8896
Hey, if u dont mind can you help me out? Im facing some issues.
I downloaded all the code from the link in the video description, followed all the steps, but did not get any output- as in there was no message output, just blank when i ran "ros2 topic echo /Yolov8_Inference". However all the models and the robot are loaded into gazebo just fine. I compared the topics published in my run versus the video, and i am missing
/rgb_cam/camera_info
/rgb_cam/image_raw/compressed
/rgb_cam/image_raw/compressedDepth
/yolobot/odom
Using rviz2, the topic image_raw can be found under Yolov8_Inference, but when I move to add it, there is no image window and it shows "no image".
My ubuntu version is 20.04.6, using latest foxy distibution.
Hi architlahiri3110!
Thanks for watching my video!
I personally have never faced such issue. Considering that you are missing camera related topics, maybe you don’t have gazebo plugins. Please refer to this page. Maybe “sudo apt-get install ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-ros-gz” command will solve your problem.
gazebosim.org/docs/latest/ros_installation
I am at this stage. I don't know whether you have moved beyond this. Those are the exact topics i am missing
me too :( .I tried that but nothing changed.
I'm replying here for everyone in the thread:
sudo apt install ros-foxy-gazebo-ros-pkgs
used this to fix it
Good luck :)
i am working on humble and I changed command but also this command did not work.
can i use this tutorial to integrate yolov8obb on ros2 using humble?
Hi Kenneth Eladistu!
Thanks for watching my video!
Yes, the way of integration should be pretty much the same.

Do you have any error messages in the terminal?
@@robotmania8896 yeah it say no such file or directory i have gazebo 11.10.2 and humble package using and also how do i speed up the gazebo simulation to detect things and which camera are we using and did you first train yolov8 ? also after colcon build they ask me to conncect joystick what is this and when i run ros2 topic echo / yolov8_inference i did not get back any parameters
if you don't mind can i have you email address to ask more questions. i have to submit this project end of this month please
Have you built the project successfully? To speed up the inference, you should use computer with GPU. Since it is a simulation, camera parameters are defined in the SDF file. No, in this tutorial I haven’t trained YOLO. I just used a provided model. To operate the robot, you should use joypad. You should use source command before doing “ros2 topic echo /yolov8_inference”. Here is my e-mail: robotmania8867@yahoo.com

But I have something problem.

Did you execute the “source” command before executing the “ros2 topic echo” command? Otherwise, you will get an error.

How to build the yolov8 for ros noetic ?
Hi Manish Nayak!
Thanks for watching my video!
Since there is python implementation for yolov8, you don’t have to build it. Just install the required libraries for yolov8 using pip.
hey will it work on gazebo11 too?
Hi AK Entertainment!
Thanks for watching my video!
Yes, it should work on gazebo 11.
wat about yolo8 seg?
Hi lordfarquad-by1dq!
Thanks for watching my video!
The segmentation result format is slightly different from recognition, but you should be able to publish it with little change to the code. I am planning to release a new video within a few days regarding semantic segmentation and yolo, it may also help you.
Can YOLOv8 track a simple track using ros?
Hi Bad Brother!
Thanks for watching my video!
What do you mean by “simple track”? If it is something like a road, you can use semantic segmentation to extract the road part from an image.
@@robotmania8896 I mean lane tracking. So it detects the trajectory of the black tape. oh okay, thank you for your advice. I would like to ask you a question. Actually I have never tried YOLO. If I want to start learning, where should I start, so that I can do lane traking using YOLO? Thanks
@@BadBrother If you need to detect black tape, you don’t have to do inference using YOLO. You may just use HSV decomposition to detect black color. Here is an example video. ua-cam.com/video/hdnuykRwMmI/v-deo.html
@@robotmania8896I really appreciate your response. I apologise for confusing you. I mean so the robot I want to build uses a Camera to detect the 2 black tape on the left and right and the path forms a trajectory. So the camera is connected to the jetson nano and then the motor is driven by the arduino uno.
I understand your problem. If you know exactly the object and color you have to detect, I think you don’t necessarily have to use yolo. You may do color detection or use infrared sensor to move along the line.
how can i use this code with yolov5?

@robotmania8896 I have watched it, but when I try to run it as ros2 run ... it doesn't know module 'models' and 'utils'
Yes, to run that code using “ros2 run” you have to modify the CMake file. You can run that code using “python3”.
i see few syntax mistakes in your code just by looking at it.
Year, there could be syntax mistakes. Please let me know if you have found any.
Actually its running without errors. Wtf. Like you just have a line that says self.subscriprion... .hows that not causing an error. Do i not know python

Please open the terminal and execute the “gazebo” command. The folder should appear.
Also, add “source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash” to your “.bashrc” file. This should solve ament_cmake related error. Don’t forget to reboot your computer after altering the “.bashrc” file.
