Hi there,

I have some questions in regards to this slicer extension: [GitHub - SNRLab/LightWeightRobotIGT](https://github.com/SNRLab/LightWeightRobotIGT)

From my understanding, this extension used to be hosted on the Midas-based server that the older version of 3D Slicer used to access packages (before version 4.4.0). It seems as though the extension is not available on the newer package host ([slicer.kitware.com](http://slicer.kitware.com)).

I was wondering if this is indeed the case, and if maybe there is actually a version of this but under a different name? Or, has anyone tried to rebuild the extension locally?

In the event that I will rebuild the extension, I need to rebuild 3D Slicer as well right?

Does anyone have an input or experience connecting 3D Slicer with a KUKA robot recently? Note, we are enable to use ROS2.

Thanks,  
Marie
