cannot launch node of type [homer_robot_face/RobotFace] Cannot locate node of type [RobotFace] in package

[muavizishfaq]

i have run the command catkin_make (As suggested in issue #5) but still its not working. I am getting same error every time. So please help me to resolve this issue.

[vseib]

Hello,
what error are you getting? Is it the one in the title of this issue?
Have you followed ALL the steps in #5, not just running catkin_make?

[vseib]

Hello, you have a dublicate issue #8 - is this one (#9) also completed? If yes, please document your solution and close it.

[muavizishfaq]

i have already done all the steps you mention in problem #5. but still my issue is not resolve.if you have any other way to do this then please tell me.

[muavizishfaq]

by the way where is the file in this package named RobotFace or i have to change anything

[vseib]

There is no file RobotFace in this package. It is the node name (executable) that you have to generate by running catkin_make.

Is catkin_make reporting any errors?
What is the output when you type
roscd homer_robot_face

If the package can not be found you have to source your workspace. If this is not helping try running
rospack profile
and then
roscd homer_robot_face
again.
What is the output of each of these command?

[muavizishfaq]

there is no error it simply go to the directory. like,,,
muaviz@muaviz-HP-ProBook-640-G3:~/catkin_ws/src/homer_robot_face-master$

[muavizishfaq]

using roscd homer_robot_face command

[vseib]

That's a good sign.
Now go to
~/catkin_ws/
and run
catkin_make

somewhere in the beginning (around 20-25 lines from the start) there will be something like this:

-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- ~~ traversing 42 packages in topological order:
-- ~~ - freenect_launch
-- ~~ - freenect_stack
....
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check that homer_robot_face is in the list of the packages.
Then scroll further down and check if catkin_make produces any errors.

[muavizishfaq]

so there is no package name homer_robot_face in this topological order list.
Furthermore, during catkin_make i an getting following error.

" CMake Error at /opt/ros/melodic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package):

[vseib]

The package
bayesian_belief_networks
is not configured correctly. If you do not need it - remove it (i.e. delete it).
Then run
rospack profile
and again catkin_make
and check the list of packages again for homer_robot_face

If you need it, then you first have to figure out how to fix it - otherwise you can not run catkin_make and you can not build robot_face.

[muavizishfaq]

now i am getting another error.

[muavizishfaq]

by the i am using ros melodic

[vseib]

qt5 is a dependency of robot face

try
sudo apt-get install libqt5x11extras5-dev
(works with ubuntu 20.04 - not sure for newer versions)

[muavizishfaq]

my one is ubuntu 18.04

[vseib]

should work then :)

please mention all the dependency

[vseib]

You can find them in the CMakeLists.txt - but you are also right that they should be listed.
The non-ros deps are:

• OGRE : RenderSystem_GL)
• Qt5 : Core Widgets X11Extras
• Festival
• ESD
• OpenCV

[vseib]

try:
sudo apt-get install festival-dev
this should automatically also install ESD

[muavizishfaq]

already have
festival-dev is already the newest version (1:2.5.0-1).

[muavizishfaq]

i am also using this command
" sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dev libqt4-gui festival
festival-dev festlex-cmu festlex-poslex festlex-oald mbrola
mbrola-us1 libogre-1.8-dev libesd0-dev libestools2.1-dev "

but in this following packages are unable to locate

E: Unable to locate package libqt4-core
E: Unable to locate package libqt4-gui
E: Package 'libogre-1.8-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package libesd0-dev

[muavizishfaq]

please give me the command to download these dependency
OGRE : RenderSystem_GL)
Qt5 : Core Widgets X11Extras

Currently using " Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) "
already run " sudo apt-get install ogre-1.9 "
Let me know if it is fine

[vseib]

First of all: all the "sudo apt install ..." commands I give you, I find using www.google.com, so you can try to do this too.

From one of your last comments it seems that ogre and qt5 are already installed. You probably should not mix qt4 and qt5 so don't mind that these packages are not found.

What is the current error? Is it still ESD missing?
Try to reinstall festival, hoping that dependencies will be fixed:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall festival festival-dev

[muavizishfaq]

i run the command you gave but still same issue

Hi bro !
Fortunately in my friend's machine package is working fine (face is properly display, speech is working fine, face is showing gestures) but still have one issue that during speech the lips movement is not working and following error is occurring

So can you please guide.....

[vseib]

Hi again,
did he find the right package to avoid the missing ESD dependency? If yes, please document the solution here.

As for the remaining issue: Hard to tell from here.
OGRE is responsible for the animation and I guess Qt for rendering. Maybe some deps are still missing.
There are some qt errors in your posted message. Apparently some slots can not be connected ...

The command you posted a while ago:
" sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dev libqt4-gui festival
festival-dev festlex-cmu festlex-poslex festlex-oald mbrola
mbrola-us1 libogre-1.8-dev libesd0-dev libestools2.1-dev "
is from our robot-face manual, right? Back then we were using Ubuntu 16. So maybe you need to find some updated versions for Ubuntu 18.
Check if qt5 is properly installed. Try: sudo apt-get install qt5-default

[vseib]

Another thing: Is the head talking (can you here speech)? If not maybe there is an issue with your text-to-speech system. If no speech is arriving at the head it will not talk and the lips won't move.
