+ +

Hi everyone, I’d like to present my project GaussianRPG, the first open-source autonomous driving closed-loop simulator demo using 3D Gaussian Splatting tech.

+

The whole project is base on the codes from this paper:

+
+

Street Gaussians: Modeling Dynamic Urban Scenes with Gaussian Splatting
+Yunzhi Yan, Haotong Lin, Chenxu Zhou, Weijie Wang, Haiyang Sun, Kun Zhan, Xianpeng Lang, Xiaowei Zhou, Sida Peng
+ECCV 2024

+
+

In this project, a simulator has been developed. Street_Gaussians is responsible for rendering images based on the camera position. A dummy AEB controller applies YOLOv5 to recognize cars in the images and determine the distance, issuing braking commands when appropriate. The car dynamics component within the simulator adjusts the camera position according to the braking commands and provides this information to Street_Gaussians as the basis for rendering the next frame. For convenience, ROS2 serves as the middleware providing the framework for the simulator.

+

pipeline

+

Examples:

+

scene_waymo_002

+

scene_waymo_124

+

scene_waymo_149

+

The simulator runs in two modes:

+

Separate perception mode:

+

frame_separate

+

Not separate perception mode:

+

frame_not_separate

Is this the experience for others on rolling?

Hi!

+

I’m currently undertaking the task of building an indoors-outdoors urban robot and have come across a chassis that has an ackermann architecture but there’s no direct actuation in the steering mechanism, instead it has 4 actuated wheels and the steering angle is controlled by the speed differential of the two front wheels. If the robot were turned off you would be able to manually change the steering angle of the two front wheels without finding any resistance, because there’s no motor there, only a pivot.

+

An example of this chassis is segway’s RMP 401, which seems to have had some adoption in the industry by companies like Coco and Goggo network.

+

This chassis seems to have some advantages with respect to 4 and 6 wheeled differential chassis, particularly they seem to provide very smooth and agile motion with minimal vibration when operating within the ackermann kinematic constraints (video), while still allowing for almost zero turn radius operating like a 4 wheeled differential (video).

+

I’m curious to hear if anyone in the community has experience with this kind of hybrid ackermann-differential chassis, particularly regarding:

+
    +
  1. The controllability of the steering mechanism, does your chassis have any kind of feedback on the steering angle despite not being actuated? How controllable is this angle?
    2. +
  2. How much stress is put on the wheels/motors when making near zero radius turns? from the video it seems like there’s quite a bit of wheel slip when operating “outside” what the ackermann kinematics would allow to move as.
    3. +
  3. Maneuverability: How hard is for the chassis to go through tight spaces, such as doors? how would it do for example going in and out of an elevator? How would it do parking/docking?
    4. +
  4. Integrability to ROS ecosystem: I don’t think there’s support either for ros2_control or nav2
    5. +
+

Thanks in advance for any opinions you can provide!

How do you recommend launching a prototype robotics systems on multiple PCs (minimum of an operations computer and a robot computer)? There has been past discussion on this and some great ROS1 tools, but I have yet to see a ROS2 tool that sufficiently fits the bill without also being overly challenging to install and configure (possible exception, perhaps too soon to say).

+

It feels like this should be a common ROS2 tool, but it appears that the mindset of assigning this design work to roslaunch alone has hampered efforts to make something simple and robust. We are thus left with many bespoke solutions developed by the community for their specific purposes (e.g. docker compose, ansible, systemd, etc.).

+

From my perspective, rosmon (ROS1) probably got the closest to a must-have reliable tool for remote node management (though I mostly used node manager on projects I was on) and we are in need of some ROS2 equivalent node management tool. Does anyone have insight or recommendations? A few requirements/desirements would be:

+
    +
  1. Manually start / stop nodes on multiple PCs at any time (perhaps with requirement to start some daemon first)
    2. +
  2. See status (alive/dead) of each node (or component set)
    3. +
  3. View individual terminals for each node at any time
    4. +
  4. View parameters for each node (yes, there are other ways to do this already)
    5. +
  5. Launch debug sessions (gdb or similar) on any running node (rosmon does this)
    6. +

We’re excited to announce release MoveIt Pro 6 that further enhances the development platform for ROS 2 applications for robot arms on fixed bases, linear rails, and mobile manipulators.

+

Key New features:

+

lab_sim_low_res2

+

New High Fidelity Physics Simulation Engine

+

Simulate RGBD cameras, 2D and 3D LiDAR, and most importantly force-torque sensors! The simulator enables a variety of end effectors, including robust 2 finger grippers, vacuum and magnetic grippers, and tools that form rigid attachments, for example welding and nailing. Of particular note, MoveIt Pro’s simulator does not require a dedicated GPU (making it easy to use on any laptop or cloud compute). MoveIt Pro now uses this simulator by default instead of Gazebo.

+

New Motion Planning with MoveIt Pro RRTConnect

+

Meet our new joint-space planner, Pro RRTConnect. This planner is deterministic, faster to compute, and generates more efficient paths compared to OMPL planners. Its first release supports both free space and Cartesian path planning, and like all MoveIt planners, is hardware agnostic and collision aware.

+

Force Compliant Controllers

+

We have added two real-time controllers for force sensitive tasks: a Joint Trajectory Admittance Controller (JTAC) and a Velocity Force Controller (VFC). The JTAC is great for use cases where object localization is not 100% perfect or when interacting with heavy objects, such as grasping motions and opening doors. The VFC is great for use cases where a particular force needs to be exerted over a trajectory, such as sanding and cutting motions.

+

Whole Body Manipulation with Clearpath + UR

+

Whole Body Control for Mobile Manipulators

+

Mobile manipulators present a great opportunity to both free manipulators from fixed bases and to improve their reachability. If you have a robot arm on a base which has too many constraints, too few degrees of freedom (DOF), or not enough reachability to perform a task, whole body planning will enable the base to move in coordination with the arm to resolve redundancy and increase reachability.

+

Navigation Support

+

Control your AMR or AGV with two new MoveIt Pro Behaviors: NavigateToPoseAction and NavigateThroughPosesAction. These send the robot base to one or more poses using Nav2’s Behavior Trees.

+

Arm-Centric Visualization Improvements

+

We’ve added more intuitive 3D grid visualization, streamlined objective lists, and more intelligent error messaging. This makes it easier to identify points of failure in MoveIt motion planning and manipulation.

+

PLC Interaction with an IO Controller

+

We have added an Input/Output Controller that enables triggering ROS-enabled binary IO devices, such as activating vacuum grippers or communicating with PLCs, via behaviors.

+

Built on Open Source

+

MoveIt Pro fully embraces the ROS 2 ecosystem, including its build system, package management, message format, middleware, etc. MoveIt Pro is also built on MoveIt open source, following the common open core business model, providing commercial grade, premium real time controllers, planners, IK solvers, etc. We continue to maintain MoveIt open source and contribute to other key libraries including core ROS 2, ROS 2 Control, RobotWebTools, and more.

Please come and join us for this coming meeting at 2024-10-07T17:00:00Z UTC→2024-10-07T18:00:00Z UTC, where Kaiyuan Eric Chen will be talking about Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2.

+

Eric is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and a member of Berkeley Automation Lab working closely with Ken Goldberg and Jeffrey Ichnowski. He has been leading the work on FogROS2: a state-of-the-art open source cloud robotics framework that offloads unmodified ROS2 applications to the cloud. He will give a talk overarching the different results obtained with the FogROS2 line of research.

+

Last meeting, we had a guest talk from Florian Pokorny on CloudGripper, An Open Source Cloud Robotics Testbed for Robotic Manipulation Research, Benchmarking and Data Collection at Scale. If you’re interested to see the talk, we have published it on YouTube. The entire meeting recording is also available, but has very little extra video than the guest talk.

+

If you are willing and able to give a talk on cloud robotics in future meetings, we would be happy to host you - please reply here, message me directly, or sign up using the Guest Speaker Signup Sheet. We will record your talk and host it on Vimeo with our other meeting recordings too!

+

The meeting link is here, and you can sign up to our calendar or our Google Group for meeting notifications.

Hi,

+

My name is Viktor, I’m currently writing my masters thesis about camera systems (covering topics like sensors, ISPs, APIs, and usages).

+

I’m currently writing the chapter on the different APIs that exist (Argus, libcamera, genicam, HAL3), as I’ve not really used these to a very large extent, I’d like to interview people who have.

+

There won’t be that many questions, I hope not to take much of your time. If you’re interested you can find me in the following way (in addition to here):

Hi all,

+

Since this is my 1st time to get to Denmark, I would like to know about public transportation and taxi/ride apps in Denmark, Odense.

+

I will be landing in Copenhagen international airport, and then what I should take?

+
    +
  • Google tells me that we can take the train from Copenhagen to Odense? This looks the best option, but do we need to reserve the train or just buy-a-ticket-and-go?
    • +
  • Is there any recommended ride/taxi app in Odense? seems that they do not have UBER in Denmark?
    • +
+

any information is appreciated, especially from local people!

+

thanks,
+Tomoya

Hey everyone!

+

We’ve developed an open-source teleoperation device that lets you control a robot arm using just your phone—no extra hardware or app downloads needed! Just move your phone, and watch the robot gripper mimic your motions in real time.

+

As part of our imitation learning project, we needed a teleoperation device to enhance our process of gathering demonstrations. We tried keyboard, spacemouse, and freedrive, but it for some use-cases it limited us. This approach utilizes WebXR (specifically ARCore) to fuse RGB and IMU data, allowing us to servo the robot arm in 6 DoF (Degrees of Freedom).

+

ROS2 Support
+The project has built-in support for the ROS 2 cartesian_motion_controller but I guess it should easily adapted for MoveIt Servo.

+

How It Works?
+Python Package: The package starts a web server. Open the web app on your smartphone, and it streams the phone’s position in 3D space (position + orientation). Real-Time Control: We use the phone’s pose data to servo the arm.

+

We packaged this as an open-source project because we believe it could be valuable to the community.

Community Page

+

Meeting Link

+

Calendar Link

+

When large fleets of robots need to perform ad hoc tasks that utilize limited resources such as parking spots, (un)loading points, or chargers, operations can get messy if you don’t have a way to resolve conflicts between robots that want to use the same resource at the same time.

+

At this session of the interoperability special interest group, Arjo Chakravarty will present on the new resource reservation system that is being introduced to Open-RMF. This new system will automatically prevent robots from attempting to use the same resource at the same time, and will also redirect robots to available parking spots where they can wait until the resource that they want becomes available.

GitHub - GimpelZhang/GaussianRPG: 3D Gaussian Rendering PlayGround: an open-source
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+ + +

Hi everyone, I’d like to present my project GaussianRPG, the first open-source autonomous driving closed-loop simulator demo using 3D Gaussian Splatting tech.

+

The whole project is base on the codes from this paper:

+
+

Street Gaussians: Modeling Dynamic Urban Scenes with Gaussian Splatting
+Yunzhi Yan, Haotong Lin, Chenxu Zhou, Weijie Wang, Haiyang Sun, Kun Zhan, Xianpeng Lang, Xiaowei Zhou, Sida Peng
+ECCV 2024

+
+

In this project, a simulator has been developed. Street_Gaussians is responsible for rendering images based on the camera position. A dummy AEB controller applies YOLOv5 to recognize cars in the images and determine the distance, issuing braking commands when appropriate. The car dynamics component within the simulator adjusts the camera position according to the braking commands and provides this information to Street_Gaussians as the basis for rendering the next frame. For convenience, ROS2 serves as the middleware providing the framework for the simulator.

+

pipeline

+

Examples:

+

scene_waymo_002

+

scene_waymo_124

+

scene_waymo_149

+

The simulator runs in two modes:

+

Separate perception mode:

+

frame_separate

+

Not separate perception mode:

+

frame_not_separate

What happened to backward_ros?
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

The backward_ros package is great. It gives you a stack trace when your ros2 application crashes.
+We’re on rolling distro and since about a couple of months ago, backward_ros has stopped working. Now all you see is a stack trace with hex addresses.

+

Is this the experience for others on rolling?

Experiences with ackermann chassis with no steering actuation like segway RMP 401 for autonomous navigation
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

Hi!

+

I’m currently undertaking the task of building an indoors-outdoors urban robot and have come across a chassis that has an ackermann architecture but there’s no direct actuation in the steering mechanism, instead it has 4 actuated wheels and the steering angle is controlled by the speed differential of the two front wheels. If the robot were turned off you would be able to manually change the steering angle of the two front wheels without finding any resistance, because there’s no motor there, only a pivot.

+

An example of this chassis is segway’s RMP 401, which seems to have had some adoption in the industry by companies like Coco and Goggo network.

+

This chassis seems to have some advantages with respect to 4 and 6 wheeled differential chassis, particularly they seem to provide very smooth and agile motion with minimal vibration when operating within the ackermann kinematic constraints (video), while still allowing for almost zero turn radius operating like a 4 wheeled differential (video).

+

I’m curious to hear if anyone in the community has experience with this kind of hybrid ackermann-differential chassis, particularly regarding:

+
    +
  1. The controllability of the steering mechanism, does your chassis have any kind of feedback on the steering angle despite not being actuated? How controllable is this angle?
    2. +
  2. How much stress is put on the wheels/motors when making near zero radius turns? from the video it seems like there’s quite a bit of wheel slip when operating “outside” what the ackermann kinematics would allow to move as.
    3. +
  3. Maneuverability: How hard is for the chassis to go through tight spaces, such as doors? how would it do for example going in and out of an elevator? How would it do parking/docking?
    4. +
  4. Integrability to ROS ecosystem: I don’t think there’s support either for ros2_control or nav2
    5. +
+

Thanks in advance for any opinions you can provide!

Archive of approved minutes of the OSRA Technical Governance Committee
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

I am pleased to announce that the approved minutes of the OSRA Technical Governance Committee are now available publicly.

+ + +

We are working on a much more complete website for the OSRA, which will include space for meeting minutes, project updates, events, and other useful information. However this is taking longer than planned, so in the interest of making these minutes available to the community we are going to place them in this repository as an interim measure.

+

New minutes will be added once approved by the TGC. This will happen approximately monthly.

+

Please be sure to read the README file in the repository before browsing the minutes themselves.

Needed: ROS2 Node Management Tool
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

How do you recommend launching a prototype robotics systems on multiple PCs (minimum of an operations computer and a robot computer)? There has been past discussion on this and some great ROS1 tools, but I have yet to see a ROS2 tool that sufficiently fits the bill without also being overly challenging to install and configure (possible exception, perhaps too soon to say).

+

It feels like this should be a common ROS2 tool, but it appears that the mindset of assigning this design work to roslaunch alone has hampered efforts to make something simple and robust. We are thus left with many bespoke solutions developed by the community for their specific purposes (e.g. docker compose, ansible, systemd, etc.).

+

From my perspective, rosmon (ROS1) probably got the closest to a must-have reliable tool for remote node management (though I mostly used node manager on projects I was on) and we are in need of some ROS2 equivalent node management tool. Does anyone have insight or recommendations? A few requirements/desirements would be:

+
    +
  1. Manually start / stop nodes on multiple PCs at any time (perhaps with requirement to start some daemon first)
    2. +
  2. See status (alive/dead) of each node (or component set)
    3. +
  3. View individual terminals for each node at any time
    4. +
  4. View parameters for each node (yes, there are other ways to do this already)
    5. +
  5. Launch debug sessions (gdb or similar) on any running node (rosmon does this)
    6. +
+

MoveIt Pro 6 Released - Runtime and Developer Platform for ROS 2
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

We’re excited to announce release MoveIt Pro 6 that further enhances the development platform for ROS 2 applications for robot arms on fixed bases, linear rails, and mobile manipulators.

+

Key New features:

+

lab_sim_low_res2

+

New High Fidelity Physics Simulation Engine

+

Simulate RGBD cameras, 2D and 3D LiDAR, and most importantly force-torque sensors! The simulator enables a variety of end effectors, including robust 2 finger grippers, vacuum and magnetic grippers, and tools that form rigid attachments, for example welding and nailing. Of particular note, MoveIt Pro’s simulator does not require a dedicated GPU (making it easy to use on any laptop or cloud compute). MoveIt Pro now uses this simulator by default instead of Gazebo.

+

New Motion Planning with MoveIt Pro RRTConnect

+

Meet our new joint-space planner, Pro RRTConnect. This planner is deterministic, faster to compute, and generates more efficient paths compared to OMPL planners. Its first release supports both free space and Cartesian path planning, and like all MoveIt planners, is hardware agnostic and collision aware.

+

Force Compliant Controllers

+

We have added two real-time controllers for force sensitive tasks: a Joint Trajectory Admittance Controller (JTAC) and a Velocity Force Controller (VFC). The JTAC is great for use cases where object localization is not 100% perfect or when interacting with heavy objects, such as grasping motions and opening doors. The VFC is great for use cases where a particular force needs to be exerted over a trajectory, such as sanding and cutting motions.

+

Whole Body Manipulation with Clearpath + UR

+

Whole Body Control for Mobile Manipulators

+

Mobile manipulators present a great opportunity to both free manipulators from fixed bases and to improve their reachability. If you have a robot arm on a base which has too many constraints, too few degrees of freedom (DOF), or not enough reachability to perform a task, whole body planning will enable the base to move in coordination with the arm to resolve redundancy and increase reachability.

+

Navigation Support

+

Control your AMR or AGV with two new MoveIt Pro Behaviors: NavigateToPoseAction and NavigateThroughPosesAction. These send the robot base to one or more poses using Nav2’s Behavior Trees.

+

Arm-Centric Visualization Improvements

+

We’ve added more intuitive 3D grid visualization, streamlined objective lists, and more intelligent error messaging. This makes it easier to identify points of failure in MoveIt motion planning and manipulation.

+

PLC Interaction with an IO Controller

+

We have added an Input/Output Controller that enables triggering ROS-enabled binary IO devices, such as activating vacuum grippers or communicating with PLCs, via behaviors.

+

Built on Open Source

+

MoveIt Pro fully embraces the ROS 2 ecosystem, including its build system, package management, message format, middleware, etc. MoveIt Pro is also built on MoveIt open source, following the common open core business model, providing commercial grade, premium real time controllers, planners, IK solvers, etc. We continue to maintain MoveIt open source and contribute to other key libraries including core ROS 2, ROS 2 Control, RobotWebTools, and more.

ROSCon 2024 Denmark Public Transportation
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

Hi all,

+

Since this is my 1st time to get to Denmark, I would like to know about public transportation and taxi/ride apps in Denmark, Odense.

+

I will be landing in Copenhagen international airport, and then what I should take?

+
    +
  • Google tells me that we can take the train from Copenhagen to Odense? This looks the best option, but do we need to reserve the train or just buy-a-ticket-and-go?
    • +
  • Is there any recommended ride/taxi app in Odense? seems that they do not have UBER in Denmark?
    • +
+

any information is appreciated, especially from local people!

+

thanks,
+Tomoya

Servo a Robot Arm Using Your Phone and WebXR! 📱
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

Hey everyone!

+

We’ve developed an open-source teleoperation device that lets you control a robot arm using just your phone—no extra hardware or app downloads needed! Just move your phone, and watch the robot gripper mimic your motions in real time.

+

As part of our imitation learning project, we needed a teleoperation device to enhance our process of gathering demonstrations. We tried keyboard, spacemouse, and freedrive, but it for some use-cases it limited us. This approach utilizes WebXR (specifically ARCore) to fuse RGB and IMU data, allowing us to servo the robot arm in 6 DoF (Degrees of Freedom).

+

ROS2 Support
+The project has built-in support for the ROS 2 cartesian_motion_controller but I guess it should easily adapted for MoveIt Servo.

+

How It Works?
+Python Package: The package starts a web server. Open the web app on your smartphone, and it streams the phone’s position in 3D space (position + orientation). Real-Time Control: We use the phone’s pose data to servo the arm.

+

We packaged this as an open-source project because we believe it could be valuable to the community.

Interoperability Interest Group October 03, 2024: The Challenge of Resource Contention in Large-Scale Robot Fleets
+ +
from ROS Discourse General
+ +
+ +
+

Community Page

+

Meeting Link

+

Calendar Link

+

When large fleets of robots need to perform ad hoc tasks that utilize limited resources such as parking spots, (un)loading points, or chargers, operations can get messy if you don’t have a way to resolve conflicts between robots that want to use the same resource at the same time.

+

At this session of the interoperability special interest group, Arjo Chakravarty will present on the new resource reservation system that is being introduced to Open-RMF. This new system will automatically prevent robots from attempting to use the same resource at the same time, and will also redirect robots to available parking spots where they can wait until the resource that they want becomes available.

We have created a detailed guide on Exporting SolidWorks Designs as URDF for ROS 1. The documentation starts from installing the URDF export plugin and walks you through each step, covering all the details needed to successfully export your robot model to a URDF file.

+

You can find the documentation here!

Street_Gaussians is responsible for rendering images based on the camera position. A dummy AEB controller applies YOLOv5 to recognize cars in the images and determine the distance, issuing braking commands when appropriate. The car dynamics component within the simulator adjusts the camera position according to the braking commands and provides this information to Street_Gaussians as the basis for rendering the next frame. For convenience, ROS2 serves as the middleware providing the framework for the simulator.</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/c/5/c5476f3150f7cc62eaaa37b21f5eaeeac83fa8c5.jpeg" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="pipeline"><img alt="pipeline" height="314" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/c/5/c5476f3150f7cc62eaaa37b21f5eaeeac83fa8c5_2_690x314.jpeg" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> +<p>Examples:</p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_002" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/4/d/4d594ca6cec36feadc66d7d4038a241dbe818e5a.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_124" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/d/2/d229ec64479ba523ab3d1df6d3845b5860e17998.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_149" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/b/5/b563946f9de59d7a331289a56446ca6f65a05dd9.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p>The simulator runs in two modes:</p> +<p>Separate perception mode:</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/e/1/e1e70987bc17479cca0e8f4a2a66a9952d39204d.png" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="frame_separate"><img alt="frame_separate" height="141" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/e/1/e1e70987bc17479cca0e8f4a2a66a9952d39204d_2_690x141.png" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> +<p>Not separate perception mode:</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/c/9/c9b40cf90fc08fce0f2c275b5a8d25c597c33db6.png" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="frame_not_separate"><img alt="frame_not_separate" height="163" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/c/9/c9b40cf90fc08fce0f2c275b5a8d25c597c33db6_2_690x163.png" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/github-gimpelzhang-gaussianrpg-3d-gaussian-rendering-playground-an-open-source/40095">Read full topic</a></p> + 2024-10-15T14:13:37+00:00 + GimpelZhang + + + ROS Discourse General: IEEE Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) + https://discourse.ros.org/t/ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p/40060 + <h1><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86827-ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-is-on-live-1" name="p-86827-ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-is-on-live-1"></a>IEEE Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) is on live.</h1> +<h2><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86827-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-seeks-to-publish-research-explicitly-directed-toward-practitioners-interests-and-concerns-with-results-deployed-in-actual-robotics-and-automation-settings-immediately-or-in-the-near-term-2" name="p-86827-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-seeks-to-publish-research-explicitly-directed-toward-practitioners-interests-and-concerns-with-results-deployed-in-actual-robotics-and-automation-settings-immediately-or-in-the-near-term-2"></a>Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) seeks to publish research explicitly directed toward practitioner’s interests and concerns, with results deployed in actual robotics and automation settings immediately or in the near-term.</h2> +<aside class="onebox allowlistedgeneric"> + <header class="source"> + <img class="site-icon" height="16" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/8/0/8035288b033ec01868c73e97506fc36b38f91e05.png" width="16" /> + + <a href="https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/ra-p" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">ieee-ras.org</a> + </header> + + <article class="onebox-body"> + <div class="aspect-image"><img class="thumbnail" height="55" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/f/6/f6d7cfe4d5278e49954062357b397954406b8d06.png" width="150" /></div> + +<h3><a href="https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/ra-p" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">RA-P - IEEE Robotics and Automation Society</a></h3> + + <p>Focus is on both applied and theoretical issues in robotics and automation.

After working for years in robotics, we have seen many organizations all over the world facing similar challenges related to robotics and ROS development. Our goal with Henki Robotics is to help reduce development costs by providing our expertise through consulting and custom code development.</p> +<p>Today we published the first version of our website - check it out to learn more about us and our company. Currently, we are looking for interesting robotics projects where we could assist. Do you have a project where you need technical expertise, or know someone who does?

If the robot were turned off you would be able to manually change the steering angle of the two front wheels without finding any resistance, because there’s no motor there, only a pivot.</p> +<p>An example of this chassis is segway’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8GoxkoS9S4" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">RMP 401</a>, which seems to have had some adoption in the industry by companies like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL0g5fOqSlw" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Coco</a> and <a href="https://tekiosmag.com/2022/11/04/robots-autonomos-de-goggo-ya-reparten-a-domicilio-los-pedidos-de-dia-y-telepizza-en-municipio-de-madrid/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Goggo network</a>.</p> +<p>This chassis seems to have some advantages with respect to 4 and 6 wheeled differential chassis, particularly they seem to provide very smooth and agile motion with minimal vibration when operating within the ackermann kinematic constraints (<a href="https://youtu.be/XMCgm4BMvuU?t=13" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">video</a>), while still allowing for almost zero turn radius operating like a 4 wheeled differential (<a href="https://youtu.be/XMCgm4BMvuU?t=44" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">video</a>).</p> +<p>I’m curious to hear if anyone in the community has experience with this kind of hybrid ackermann-differential chassis, particularly regarding:</p> +<ol> +<li>The controllability of the steering mechanism, does your chassis have any kind of feedback on the steering angle despite not being actuated? How controllable is this angle?</li> +<li>How much stress is put on the wheels/motors when making near zero radius turns? from the video it seems like there’s quite a bit of wheel slip when operating “outside” what the ackermann kinematics would allow to move as.</li> +<li>Maneuverability: How hard is for the chassis to go through tight spaces, such as doors? how would it do for example going in and out of an elevator? How would it do parking/docking?</li> +<li>Integrability to ROS ecosystem: I don’t think there’s support either for ros2_control or nav2</li> +</ol> +<p>Thanks in advance for any opinions you can provide!</p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/experiences-with-ackermann-chassis-with-no-steering-actuation-like-segway-rmp-401-for-autonomous-navigation/39907">Read full topic</a></p> + 2024-10-03T17:17:29+00:00 + alejandro + + + ROS Discourse General: 7th International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering + https://discourse.ros.org/t/7th-international-workshop-on-robotics-software-engineering/39901 + <p>Hey, folks,</p> +<p>We are excited to organize the <a href="https://rose-workshops.github.io/rose2025/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">7th Edition of the International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering</a>, co-located at the International Conference on Software Engineering (<a href="https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2025" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ICSE '25</a>) in Ottawa, Canada next year (April 27th to May 3rd, 2025).</p> +<p>We would love to see more members of the ROS community get involved, whether that be through submitting a paper on your research, tools, or a case study about software engineering practice, or by participating in the workshop and contributing to the discussion.</p> +<p>If that sounds interesting to you, check out the Call for Papers on the workshop website (<a class="inline-onebox" href="https://rose-workshops.github.io/rose2025" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">RoSE 2025</a>), or feel free to send me a DM or email with any questions! <img alt=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" height="20" src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12" title=":slight_smile:" width="20" /> (e.g., “could I submit a paper on X?”)</p> +<p>Submissions are due on November 11th, 2024.

There has been <a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/how-do-you-launch-your-systems/23383/29">past discussion</a> on this and some great <a href="https://github.com/fkie/multimaster_fkie" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ROS1</a> <a href="https://github.com/xqms/rosmon" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">tools</a>, but I have yet to see a ROS2 tool that sufficiently fits the bill without also being overly challenging to install and configure (<a href="https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">possible exception</a>, perhaps too soon to say).</p> +<p>It feels like this should be a common ROS2 tool, but it appears that the mindset of assigning this <a href="https://design.ros2.org/articles/roslaunch.html#launching-nodes-processes-remotely-and-portability" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">design work</a> to <a href="https://github.com/ros2/design/pull/297" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">roslaunch alone</a> has hampered efforts to make something simple and robust. We are thus left with <strong>many</strong> bespoke solutions developed by the community for their specific purposes (e.g. docker compose, ansible, systemd, etc.).</p> +<p>From my perspective, <a href="https://github.com/xqms/rosmon" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">rosmon</a> (ROS1) probably got the closest to a must-have reliable tool for remote node management (though I mostly used <a href="https://github.com/fkie/multimaster_fkie" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">node manager</a> on projects I was on) and we are in need of some ROS2 equivalent node management tool.

The simulator enables a variety of end effectors, including robust 2 finger grippers, vacuum and magnetic grippers, and tools that form rigid attachments, for example welding and nailing. Of particular note, MoveIt Pro’s simulator does not require a dedicated GPU (making it easy to use on any laptop or cloud compute). MoveIt Pro now uses this simulator by default instead of Gazebo.</p> +<p><strong>New Motion Planning with MoveIt Pro RRTConnect</strong></p> +<p>Meet our new joint-space planner, Pro RRTConnect. This planner is deterministic, faster to compute, and generates more efficient paths compared to OMPL planners. Its first release supports both free space and Cartesian path planning, and like all MoveIt planners, is hardware agnostic and collision aware.</p> +<p><strong>Force Compliant Controllers</strong></p> +<p>We have added two real-time controllers for force sensitive tasks: a Joint Trajectory Admittance Controller (JTAC) and a Velocity Force Controller (VFC). The JTAC is great for use cases where object localization is not 100% perfect or when interacting with heavy objects, such as grasping motions and opening doors. The VFC is great for use cases where a particular force needs to be exerted over a trajectory, such as sanding and cutting motions.</p> +<p><img alt="Whole Body Manipulation with Clearpath + UR" class="animated" height="377" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/b/4/b496da430f3838f84faf4fae2c9a90f3d7feb950.gif" width="690" /></p> +<p><strong>Whole Body Control for Mobile Manipulators</strong></p> +<p>Mobile manipulators present a great opportunity to both free manipulators from fixed bases and to improve their reachability. If you have a robot arm on a base which has too many constraints, too few degrees of freedom (DOF), or not enough reachability to perform a task, whole body planning will enable the base to move in coordination with the arm to resolve redundancy and increase reachability.</p> +<p><strong>Navigation Support</strong></p> +<p>Control your AMR or AGV with two new MoveIt Pro Behaviors: NavigateToPoseAction and NavigateThroughPosesAction. These send the robot base to one or more poses using Nav2’s Behavior Trees.</p> +<p><strong>Arm-Centric Visualization Improvements</strong></p> +<p>We’ve added more intuitive 3D grid visualization, streamlined objective lists, and more intelligent error messaging. This makes it easier to identify points of failure in MoveIt motion planning and manipulation.</p> +<p><strong>PLC Interaction with an IO Controller</strong></p> +<p>We have added an Input/Output Controller that enables triggering ROS-enabled binary IO devices, such as activating vacuum grippers or communicating with PLCs, via behaviors.</p> +<h1><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86508-built-on-open-source-2" name="p-86508-built-on-open-source-2"></a>Built on Open Source</h1> +<p>MoveIt Pro fully embraces the ROS 2 ecosystem, including its build system, package management, message format, middleware, etc. MoveIt Pro is also built on MoveIt open source, following the common <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-core_model" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">open core business model</a>, providing commercial grade, premium real time controllers, planners, IK solvers, etc. We continue to maintain MoveIt open source and contribute to other key libraries including core ROS 2, ROS 2 Control, RobotWebTools, and more.</p> +<p><strong><img alt="|960px;x540px;" class="animated" height="343" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/f/5/f5817e04b71399fb0901682a0e545034ebd3f6bc.gif" width="690" /></strong></p> + <p><small>8 posts - 6 participants</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/moveit-pro-6-released-runtime-and-developer-platform-for-ros-2/39875">Read full topic</a></p> + 2024-10-01T20:31:51+00:00 + davetcoleman + + + ROS Discourse General: Cloud Robotics WG: "Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2" - Guest Talk by Kaiyuan Eric Chen + https://discourse.ros.org/t/cloud-robotics-wg-enabling-usable-and-reliable-cloud-robotics-with-fogros2-guest-talk-by-kaiyuan-eric-chen/39869 + <p>Please come and join us for this coming meeting at <span class="discourse-local-date">2024-10-07T17:00:00Z UTC</span>→<span class="discourse-local-date">2024-10-07T18:00:00Z UTC</span>, where <a href="https://keplerc.github.io/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Kaiyuan Eric Chen</a> will be talking about Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2.</p> +<p>Eric is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and a member of Berkeley Automation Lab working closely with <a href="https://goldberg.berkeley.edu/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Ken Goldberg</a> and Jeffrey Ichnowski.

Just move your phone, and watch the robot gripper mimic your motions in real time.</p> +<p>As part of our imitation learning project, we needed a teleoperation device to enhance our process of gathering demonstrations. We tried keyboard, spacemouse, and freedrive, but it for some use-cases it limited us. This approach utilizes WebXR (specifically ARCore) to fuse RGB and IMU data, allowing us to servo the robot arm in 6 DoF (Degrees of Freedom).</p> +<p><strong>ROS2 Support</strong><br /> +The project has built-in support for the ROS 2 <a href="https://github.com/fzi-forschungszentrum-informatik/cartesian_controllers" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">cartesian_motion_controller</a> but I guess it should easily adapted for MoveIt Servo.</p> +<p><strong>How It Works?</strong><br /> +Python Package: The package starts a web server. Open the web app on your smartphone, and it streams the phone’s position in 3D space (position + orientation). Real-Time Control: We use the phone’s pose data to servo the arm.</p> +<p>We packaged this as an open-source project because we believe it could be valuable to the community.</p> +<aside class="onebox githubrepo"> + <header class="source"> + + <a href="https://github.com/SpesRobotics/teleop?tab=readme-ov-file" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">github.com</a> + </header> + + <article class="onebox-body"> + <div class="github-row"> + <img class="thumbnail" height="344" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/f/c/fc6731af617963b68c3cf33f69ca391e47374763_2_690x344.png" width="690" /> + + <h3><a href="https://github.com/SpesRobotics/teleop?tab=readme-ov-file" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">GitHub - SpesRobotics/teleop: Turns your phone into a robot arm teleoperation...</a></h3> + + <p><span class="github-repo-description">Turns your phone into a robot arm teleoperation device by leveraging the WebXR API</span></p> +</div> + + </article> + + <div class="onebox-metadata"> + + + </div> + + <div style="clear: both;"></div> +</aside> + +<p><img alt="teleop" class="animated" height="254" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/8/9/897b93d47f06312ae0d5933cb86d126b5ec2b565.gif" width="452" /></p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/servo-a-robot-arm-using-your-phone-and-webxr/39776">Read full topic</a></p> + 2024-09-26T21:21:10+00:00 + Marija_Golubovic + + + ROS Discourse General: Interoperability Interest Group October 03, 2024: The Challenge of Resource Contention in Large-Scale Robot Fleets + https://discourse.ros.org/t/interoperability-interest-group-october-03-2024-the-challenge-of-resource-contention-in-large-scale-robot-fleets/39768 + <p><a href="https://github.com/osrf-sig-interoperability/community" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Community Page</a></p> +<p><a href="https://openrobotics-org.zoom.us/j/82222141986?pwd=30wAfBwxIQ66O12HslQVvBziGxPmJ0.1" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Meeting Link</a></p> +<p><a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=agf3kajirket8khktupm9go748@group.calendar.google.com" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Calendar Link</a></p> +<p>When large fleets of robots need to perform ad hoc tasks that utilize limited resources such as parking spots, (un)loading points, or chargers, operations can get messy if you don’t have a way to resolve conflicts between robots that want to use the same resource at the same time.</p> +<p>At this session of the interoperability special interest group, Arjo Chakravarty will present on the new resource reservation system that is being introduced to Open-RMF.

Street_Gaussians is responsible for rendering images based on the camera position. A dummy AEB controller applies YOLOv5 to recognize cars in the images and determine the distance, issuing braking commands when appropriate. The car dynamics component within the simulator adjusts the camera position according to the braking commands and provides this information to Street_Gaussians as the basis for rendering the next frame. For convenience, ROS2 serves as the middleware providing the framework for the simulator.</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/c/5/c5476f3150f7cc62eaaa37b21f5eaeeac83fa8c5.jpeg" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="pipeline"><img alt="pipeline" height="314" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/c/5/c5476f3150f7cc62eaaa37b21f5eaeeac83fa8c5_2_690x314.jpeg" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> +<p>Examples:</p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_002" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/4/d/4d594ca6cec36feadc66d7d4038a241dbe818e5a.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_124" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/d/2/d229ec64479ba523ab3d1df6d3845b5860e17998.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p><img alt="scene_waymo_149" class="animated" height="225" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/b/5/b563946f9de59d7a331289a56446ca6f65a05dd9.gif" width="400" /></p> +<p>The simulator runs in two modes:</p> +<p>Separate perception mode:</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/e/1/e1e70987bc17479cca0e8f4a2a66a9952d39204d.png" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="frame_separate"><img alt="frame_separate" height="141" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/e/1/e1e70987bc17479cca0e8f4a2a66a9952d39204d_2_690x141.png" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> +<p>Not separate perception mode:</p> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/c/9/c9b40cf90fc08fce0f2c275b5a8d25c597c33db6.png" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="frame_not_separate"><img alt="frame_not_separate" height="163" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/c/9/c9b40cf90fc08fce0f2c275b5a8d25c597c33db6_2_690x163.png" width="690" /></a></div><p></p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/github-gimpelzhang-gaussianrpg-3d-gaussian-rendering-playground-an-open-source/40095">Read full topic</a></p> + Tue, 15 Oct 2024 14:13:37 +0000 + + + ROS Discourse General: IEEE Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) + discourse.ros.org-topic-40060 + https://discourse.ros.org/t/ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p/40060 + <h1><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86827-ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-is-on-live-1" name="p-86827-ieee-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-is-on-live-1"></a>IEEE Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) is on live.</h1> +<h2><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86827-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-seeks-to-publish-research-explicitly-directed-toward-practitioners-interests-and-concerns-with-results-deployed-in-actual-robotics-and-automation-settings-immediately-or-in-the-near-term-2" name="p-86827-robotics-and-automation-practice-ra-p-seeks-to-publish-research-explicitly-directed-toward-practitioners-interests-and-concerns-with-results-deployed-in-actual-robotics-and-automation-settings-immediately-or-in-the-near-term-2"></a>Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P) seeks to publish research explicitly directed toward practitioner’s interests and concerns, with results deployed in actual robotics and automation settings immediately or in the near-term.</h2> +<aside class="onebox allowlistedgeneric"> + <header class="source"> + <img class="site-icon" height="16" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/8/0/8035288b033ec01868c73e97506fc36b38f91e05.png" width="16" /> + + <a href="https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/ra-p" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">ieee-ras.org</a> + </header> + + <article class="onebox-body"> + <div class="aspect-image"><img class="thumbnail" height="55" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/f/6/f6d7cfe4d5278e49954062357b397954406b8d06.png" width="150" /></div> + +<h3><a href="https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/ra-p" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">RA-P - IEEE Robotics and Automation Society</a></h3> + + <p>Focus is on both applied and theoretical issues in robotics and automation.

After working for years in robotics, we have seen many organizations all over the world facing similar challenges related to robotics and ROS development. Our goal with Henki Robotics is to help reduce development costs by providing our expertise through consulting and custom code development.</p> +<p>Today we published the first version of our website - check it out to learn more about us and our company. Currently, we are looking for interesting robotics projects where we could assist. Do you have a project where you need technical expertise, or know someone who does? If so, we would be happy to discuss!</p> +<p><a href="http://www.henkirobotics.com/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">www.henkirobotics.com</a></p> +<p><a href="https://www.henkirobotics.com" rel="noopener nofollow ugc"><img alt="logo" height="250" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/c/d/cd3f1860514c5685428e15445b9983271c146e9a.png" width="250" /></a></p> + <p><small>5 posts - 5 participants</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/a-new-robotics-company-henki-robotics/39970">Read full topic</a></p> + Tue, 08 Oct 2024 11:30:10 +0000 + + + ROS Discourse General: ROS News for September 30th, 2024 + discourse.ros.org-topic-39935 + https://discourse.ros.org/t/ros-news-for-september-30th-2024/39935 + <h1><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86623-ros-news-for-the-week-of-september-30th-2024-1" name="p-86623-ros-news-for-the-week-of-september-30th-2024-1"></a>ROS News for the Week of September 30th, 2024</h1> +<br /> +<p><img alt="a0795a6f09133bc351ebab8755ed01fee832c023" class="animated" height="296" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/a/0/a0795a6f09133bc351ebab8755ed01fee832c023.gif" width="517" /><br /> +<img alt=":tada:" class="emoji" height="20" src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/tada.png?v=12" title=":tada:" width="20" /> <img alt=":bank:" class="emoji" height="20" src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/bank.png?v=12" title=":bank:" width="20" /> <a href="https://community.gazebosim.org/t/gazebo-ionic-release/3088">Gazebo Ionic has been released!</a></p> +<br /> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/4/f/4fa76fd7bc28d62b1c38f87a803bcbb5777e2170.png" title="371843442-754f20cd-90e6-43a9-8c18-cc523840eccb"><img alt="371843442-754f20cd-90e6-43a9-8c18-cc523840eccb" height="153" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/4/f/4fa76fd7bc28d62b1c38f87a803bcbb5777e2170_2_345x153.png" width="345" /></a></div><br /> +<a class="mention" href="https://discourse.ros.org/u/fmrico">@fmrico</a> has been working on a cool little tool called <a href="https://github.com/fmrico/yaets">YAETS (Yet Another Execution Tracing System)</a> that let’s you track node execution order via a Gantt Charts.<p></p> +<br /> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/0/8/0837667bf4804a8585148781963da743466dbd7a.jpeg" title="GOD_image"><img alt="GOD_image" height="179" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/0/8/0837667bf4804a8585148781963da743466dbd7a_2_517x179.jpeg" width="517" /></a></div><br /> +<a href="https://www.unmannedlab.org/the-great-outdoors-dataset/">Check out this “Great Outdoors Dataset (GOD)”</a>, it is a collection of annotated off-road multi-modal scenes with just about every type of sensor in a ROSBag.<p></p> +<br /> +<p><img alt="Screenshot from 2024-10-04 13-13-59" height="232" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/3/0/30546de2431c6eb266e345f9994a2e490bf391f7.png" width="282" /><br /> +Our friends and colleagues over at <a href="https://therecursive.com/autonomous-robots-and-real-time-data-romanian-founded-dexory-raises-80m-in-series-b/">Dexory have raised an $80M series B to fund expansion to the US market.</a></p> +<br /> +<p></p><div class="lightbox-wrapper"><a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/0/9/0911532b87b7280dc7b12189d6034b2cdb5656e1.png" title="roscon_2024-odense"><img alt="roscon_2024-odense" height="249" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/0/9/0911532b87b7280dc7b12189d6034b2cdb5656e1_2_288x249.png" width="288" /></a></div><br /> +<img alt=":tada:" class="emoji" height="20" src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/tada.png?v=12" title=":tada:" width="20" /> <a href="https://roscon.ros.org/2024/">ROSCon</a> tickets are basically sold out!

If the robot were turned off you would be able to manually change the steering angle of the two front wheels without finding any resistance, because there’s no motor there, only a pivot.</p> +<p>An example of this chassis is segway’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8GoxkoS9S4" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">RMP 401</a>, which seems to have had some adoption in the industry by companies like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL0g5fOqSlw" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Coco</a> and <a href="https://tekiosmag.com/2022/11/04/robots-autonomos-de-goggo-ya-reparten-a-domicilio-los-pedidos-de-dia-y-telepizza-en-municipio-de-madrid/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Goggo network</a>.</p> +<p>This chassis seems to have some advantages with respect to 4 and 6 wheeled differential chassis, particularly they seem to provide very smooth and agile motion with minimal vibration when operating within the ackermann kinematic constraints (<a href="https://youtu.be/XMCgm4BMvuU?t=13" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">video</a>), while still allowing for almost zero turn radius operating like a 4 wheeled differential (<a href="https://youtu.be/XMCgm4BMvuU?t=44" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">video</a>).</p> +<p>I’m curious to hear if anyone in the community has experience with this kind of hybrid ackermann-differential chassis, particularly regarding:</p> +<ol> +<li>The controllability of the steering mechanism, does your chassis have any kind of feedback on the steering angle despite not being actuated? How controllable is this angle?</li> +<li>How much stress is put on the wheels/motors when making near zero radius turns? from the video it seems like there’s quite a bit of wheel slip when operating “outside” what the ackermann kinematics would allow to move as.</li> +<li>Maneuverability: How hard is for the chassis to go through tight spaces, such as doors? how would it do for example going in and out of an elevator? How would it do parking/docking?</li> +<li>Integrability to ROS ecosystem: I don’t think there’s support either for ros2_control or nav2</li> +</ol> +<p>Thanks in advance for any opinions you can provide!</p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/experiences-with-ackermann-chassis-with-no-steering-actuation-like-segway-rmp-401-for-autonomous-navigation/39907">Read full topic</a></p> + Thu, 03 Oct 2024 17:17:29 +0000 + + + ROS Discourse General: 7th International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering + discourse.ros.org-topic-39901 + https://discourse.ros.org/t/7th-international-workshop-on-robotics-software-engineering/39901 + <p>Hey, folks,</p> +<p>We are excited to organize the <a href="https://rose-workshops.github.io/rose2025/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">7th Edition of the International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering</a>, co-located at the International Conference on Software Engineering (<a href="https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2025" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ICSE '25</a>) in Ottawa, Canada next year (April 27th to May 3rd, 2025).</p> +<p>We would love to see more members of the ROS community get involved, whether that be through submitting a paper on your research, tools, or a case study about software engineering practice, or by participating in the workshop and contributing to the discussion.</p> +<p>If that sounds interesting to you, check out the Call for Papers on the workshop website (<a class="inline-onebox" href="https://rose-workshops.github.io/rose2025" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">RoSE 2025</a>), or feel free to send me a DM or email with any questions! <img alt=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" height="20" src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12" title=":slight_smile:" width="20" /> (e.g., “could I submit a paper on X?”)</p> +<p>Submissions are due on November 11th, 2024.

There has been <a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/how-do-you-launch-your-systems/23383/29">past discussion</a> on this and some great <a href="https://github.com/fkie/multimaster_fkie" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ROS1</a> <a href="https://github.com/xqms/rosmon" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">tools</a>, but I have yet to see a ROS2 tool that sufficiently fits the bill without also being overly challenging to install and configure (<a href="https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">possible exception</a>, perhaps too soon to say).</p> +<p>It feels like this should be a common ROS2 tool, but it appears that the mindset of assigning this <a href="https://design.ros2.org/articles/roslaunch.html#launching-nodes-processes-remotely-and-portability" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">design work</a> to <a href="https://github.com/ros2/design/pull/297" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">roslaunch alone</a> has hampered efforts to make something simple and robust. We are thus left with <strong>many</strong> bespoke solutions developed by the community for their specific purposes (e.g. docker compose, ansible, systemd, etc.).</p> +<p>From my perspective, <a href="https://github.com/xqms/rosmon" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">rosmon</a> (ROS1) probably got the closest to a must-have reliable tool for remote node management (though I mostly used <a href="https://github.com/fkie/multimaster_fkie" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">node manager</a> on projects I was on) and we are in need of some ROS2 equivalent node management tool.

The simulator enables a variety of end effectors, including robust 2 finger grippers, vacuum and magnetic grippers, and tools that form rigid attachments, for example welding and nailing. Of particular note, MoveIt Pro’s simulator does not require a dedicated GPU (making it easy to use on any laptop or cloud compute). MoveIt Pro now uses this simulator by default instead of Gazebo.</p> +<p><strong>New Motion Planning with MoveIt Pro RRTConnect</strong></p> +<p>Meet our new joint-space planner, Pro RRTConnect. This planner is deterministic, faster to compute, and generates more efficient paths compared to OMPL planners. Its first release supports both free space and Cartesian path planning, and like all MoveIt planners, is hardware agnostic and collision aware.</p> +<p><strong>Force Compliant Controllers</strong></p> +<p>We have added two real-time controllers for force sensitive tasks: a Joint Trajectory Admittance Controller (JTAC) and a Velocity Force Controller (VFC). The JTAC is great for use cases where object localization is not 100% perfect or when interacting with heavy objects, such as grasping motions and opening doors. The VFC is great for use cases where a particular force needs to be exerted over a trajectory, such as sanding and cutting motions.</p> +<p><img alt="Whole Body Manipulation with Clearpath + UR" class="animated" height="377" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/b/4/b496da430f3838f84faf4fae2c9a90f3d7feb950.gif" width="690" /></p> +<p><strong>Whole Body Control for Mobile Manipulators</strong></p> +<p>Mobile manipulators present a great opportunity to both free manipulators from fixed bases and to improve their reachability. If you have a robot arm on a base which has too many constraints, too few degrees of freedom (DOF), or not enough reachability to perform a task, whole body planning will enable the base to move in coordination with the arm to resolve redundancy and increase reachability.</p> +<p><strong>Navigation Support</strong></p> +<p>Control your AMR or AGV with two new MoveIt Pro Behaviors: NavigateToPoseAction and NavigateThroughPosesAction. These send the robot base to one or more poses using Nav2’s Behavior Trees.</p> +<p><strong>Arm-Centric Visualization Improvements</strong></p> +<p>We’ve added more intuitive 3D grid visualization, streamlined objective lists, and more intelligent error messaging. This makes it easier to identify points of failure in MoveIt motion planning and manipulation.</p> +<p><strong>PLC Interaction with an IO Controller</strong></p> +<p>We have added an Input/Output Controller that enables triggering ROS-enabled binary IO devices, such as activating vacuum grippers or communicating with PLCs, via behaviors.</p> +<h1><a class="anchor" href="https://discourse.ros.org#p-86508-built-on-open-source-2" name="p-86508-built-on-open-source-2"></a>Built on Open Source</h1> +<p>MoveIt Pro fully embraces the ROS 2 ecosystem, including its build system, package management, message format, middleware, etc. MoveIt Pro is also built on MoveIt open source, following the common <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-core_model" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">open core business model</a>, providing commercial grade, premium real time controllers, planners, IK solvers, etc. We continue to maintain MoveIt open source and contribute to other key libraries including core ROS 2, ROS 2 Control, RobotWebTools, and more.</p> +<p><strong><img alt="|960px;x540px;" class="animated" height="343" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/f/5/f5817e04b71399fb0901682a0e545034ebd3f6bc.gif" width="690" /></strong></p> + <p><small>8 posts - 6 participants</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/moveit-pro-6-released-runtime-and-developer-platform-for-ros-2/39875">Read full topic</a></p> + Tue, 01 Oct 2024 20:31:51 +0000 + + + ROS Discourse General: Cloud Robotics WG: "Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2" - Guest Talk by Kaiyuan Eric Chen + discourse.ros.org-topic-39869 + https://discourse.ros.org/t/cloud-robotics-wg-enabling-usable-and-reliable-cloud-robotics-with-fogros2-guest-talk-by-kaiyuan-eric-chen/39869 + <p>Please come and join us for this coming meeting at <span class="discourse-local-date">2024-10-07T17:00:00Z UTC</span>→<span class="discourse-local-date">2024-10-07T18:00:00Z UTC</span>, where <a href="https://keplerc.github.io/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Kaiyuan Eric Chen</a> will be talking about Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2.</p> +<p>Eric is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and a member of Berkeley Automation Lab working closely with <a href="https://goldberg.berkeley.edu/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Ken Goldberg</a> and Jeffrey Ichnowski.

Just move your phone, and watch the robot gripper mimic your motions in real time.</p> +<p>As part of our imitation learning project, we needed a teleoperation device to enhance our process of gathering demonstrations. We tried keyboard, spacemouse, and freedrive, but it for some use-cases it limited us. This approach utilizes WebXR (specifically ARCore) to fuse RGB and IMU data, allowing us to servo the robot arm in 6 DoF (Degrees of Freedom).</p> +<p><strong>ROS2 Support</strong><br /> +The project has built-in support for the ROS 2 <a href="https://github.com/fzi-forschungszentrum-informatik/cartesian_controllers" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">cartesian_motion_controller</a> but I guess it should easily adapted for MoveIt Servo.</p> +<p><strong>How It Works?</strong><br /> +Python Package: The package starts a web server. Open the web app on your smartphone, and it streams the phone’s position in 3D space (position + orientation). Real-Time Control: We use the phone’s pose data to servo the arm.</p> +<p>We packaged this as an open-source project because we believe it could be valuable to the community.</p> +<aside class="onebox githubrepo"> + <header class="source"> + + <a href="https://github.com/SpesRobotics/teleop?tab=readme-ov-file" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">github.com</a> + </header> + + <article class="onebox-body"> + <div class="github-row"> + <img class="thumbnail" height="344" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/optimized/3X/f/c/fc6731af617963b68c3cf33f69ca391e47374763_2_690x344.png" width="690" /> + + <h3><a href="https://github.com/SpesRobotics/teleop?tab=readme-ov-file" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">GitHub - SpesRobotics/teleop: Turns your phone into a robot arm teleoperation...</a></h3> + + <p><span class="github-repo-description">Turns your phone into a robot arm teleoperation device by leveraging the WebXR API</span></p> +</div> + + </article> + + <div class="onebox-metadata"> + + + </div> + + <div style="clear: both;"></div> +</aside> + +<p><img alt="teleop" class="animated" height="254" src="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ros/original/3X/8/9/897b93d47f06312ae0d5933cb86d126b5ec2b565.gif" width="452" /></p> + <p><small>1 post - 1 participant</small></p> + <p><a href="https://discourse.ros.org/t/servo-a-robot-arm-using-your-phone-and-webxr/39776">Read full topic</a></p> + Thu, 26 Sep 2024 21:21:10 +0000 + + + ROS Discourse General: Interoperability Interest Group October 03, 2024: The Challenge of Resource Contention in Large-Scale Robot Fleets + discourse.ros.org-topic-39768 + https://discourse.ros.org/t/interoperability-interest-group-october-03-2024-the-challenge-of-resource-contention-in-large-scale-robot-fleets/39768 + <p><a href="https://github.com/osrf-sig-interoperability/community" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Community Page</a></p> +<p><a href="https://openrobotics-org.zoom.us/j/82222141986?pwd=30wAfBwxIQ66O12HslQVvBziGxPmJ0.1" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Meeting Link</a></p> +<p><a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=agf3kajirket8khktupm9go748@group.calendar.google.com" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Calendar Link</a></p> +<p>When large fleets of robots need to perform ad hoc tasks that utilize limited resources such as parking spots, (un)loading points, or chargers, operations can get messy if you don’t have a way to resolve conflicts between robots that want to use the same resource at the same time.</p> +<p>At this session of the interoperability special interest group, Arjo Chakravarty will present on the new resource reservation system that is being introduced to Open-RMF.
