MoveIt 2 MoveIt 2 journey: announcing MoveIt 2 alpha release In this fifth part we announce the unofficial alpha release of MoveIt 2 and discuss the status of the port including the packages ported so far and the future ahead.
MoveIt 2 MoveIt 2 journey: sensorless collision detection with ROS 2 We present a sensorless collision detection system for the MARA modular robot using MoveIt 2. The whole system is based in ROS 2 and has been tested using the Dashing Diademata pre-release.
MoveIt 2 MoveIt 2 journey: first demonstrator in ROS 2, planning to a joint-space goal In this third part we announce the alpha pre-release of MoveIt 2, discuss the status of the port, the packages ported so far and provide a first demonstrator of the capabilities of MoveIt 2 by showing how to plan to a joint-space goal.
MoveIt 2 MoveIt 2 journey: porting and understanding moveit_core In this second part of the MoveIt 2 journey, we will discuss moveit_core, one of the most relevant elements of the MoveIt motion planning framework. moveit_core includes the core libraries used by MoveIt 2.
motion planing framework The MoveIt 2 journey: why MoveIt 2? This is the first of a series of articles that we will produce to describe our learning experience and contributions with the MoveIt 2 and ROS 2 communities.
modularity System Integration and Modularity in Robotics using ROS Did you miss Víctor's talk at ROS-Industrial Conference 2018? Find the video and a summary bellow. He discusses the challenges and strategies for building robots using the Robot Operating System (ROS).
robot modularity Challenges of Robot Modularity and How We Are Overcoming Them Distributed hardware and software architectures bring several technical challenges but provide flexibility for modern robots
Reinforcement learning for robots Robot gym: Accelerated Robot Training through Simulation in the Cloud with ROS and Gazebo We introduce an extension of gym gazebo, called robot gym that makes use of container technology to deploy experiments in a distributed way, accelerating the training process through a framework for distributed RL.
AI for robots Towards Self Adaptive Robots: from Programming to Training Machines How could we build self adaptive robots (easy to configure and re-purpose) more effectively? In this article, we argue that modularity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are key and explain why.
future of robotics Envisioning The Future of Robotics (II): Intelligent and Collaborative Robots Ahead With latest AI results being translated to robotics and the recent investments in the field, there’s a high expectation for what’s coming to robotics over the following decades.
future of robotics Envisioning The Future of Robotics (I): From Manipulators to Industrial Robots What’s the origin of robots? in this article, we present a review of some of the most relevant milestones that happened in robotics over the last decades and our insight about the technologically feasible near future of robotics.
