🤖 Exciting News: ROS1/ROS2 Interface for Ethernet/IP EGK Schunk grippers! 🚀I'm happy to announce that in our lab, we are developing a ROS1/2 interface for EGK ethernet/IP grippers from Schunk. This interface leverages EIPScanner and ROS1/2 services to control the gripper easily and intuitively.I want to express my gratitude to the open-source community. I am happy to finally give back and contribute to the community that has supported my PhD journey in robotics.Let's continue to (openly) democratise robotics together.This post has been clearly written by generative AI, while the code, as you will experience at your expense, is not.#Robotics #ROS #ROS2 #Schunk #OpenSource

A recording of our March Gazebo Community Meeting is now up the Open Robotics Vimeo account.This month's speaker was Ji Zhang, a research scientist focused on LIDAR SLAM fromCarnegie Mellon University.Here's a quick summary of the talk, "In this talk, I will introduce our full autonomy stack which enables robots to autonomously navigate to goal points and to explore and map unknown environments. Our work started several years ago from the fundamental SLAM building block - Lidar Odometry And Mapping (LOAM). Building upon the SLAM module, the full autonomy stack now provides multiple low-level features, e.g. collision avoidance, terrain traversability analysis, and waypoint following. The autonomy stack further contains two high-level planners for waypoint navigation and exploration, respectively. The autonomy stack can be set to run both in simulation and on real robot platforms. In the talk, I will give examples of using the system to support research work such as advanced CV and AI. The series of work has won both the Best Paper Award and Best System Paper Award of RSS 2021, the only time in the history of RSS that one paper collected both major awards, and the Best Student Paper Award of IROS 2022. The extended journal version has recently been published at Science Robotics. Aimed at lowering the bar for everybody to acquire autonomy and make further use of it, our system is open-sourced at cmu-exploration.com."https://lnkd.in/g3WqMcff

#Autonomous driving software proves it’s beta in production. Problem bigger than any one company, even Google, can master. The kernel should be #opensource, like #Linux.

Day 10 & 11 of #100daysofros2Just two slow and steady turtles race to the win.I believe the best way of learning is by doing. I went through a great deal ahead without executing it. So for the next few days I'll spend on building mini projects revolving around what I've learnt till now. Till then cheer for these two😁This is an application of multi node to one node, where two teleop notes publish to cmd_vel node. And will try to execute all other types soon. And will take lesser and lesser time to execute them. Hopefully.#ros #ros2 #roscon2023 #roscon #robotics #robot #turtlesim #simulation #linux #learning #learninganddevelopment #project #miniproject

My team mates Stuart Ridout and Erik Olsson have just released on GitHub Prompt Buddy, an amazing Power App to help you storing, categorizing and sharing prompts for Copilot in your organization. It's a great tool to accelerate the adoption of Copilot and to educate your employees on prompt engineering. Download it from https://buff.ly/3VsPULj and see a demo at https://buff.ly/3PxGvyl #copilot #microsoft365

In my free-time, I just started going down a new rabbit hole for designing concurrent algorithms: lock-free algorithms are great for real-time applications, such as robots or autonomous driving cars as they do not suffer problems that come with locks. In that short time, I could contribute a small step in a longer journey, which I want to share with interested people.https://lnkd.in/eevrVcdb
