RDP 025: Hardware Robot Operating System (or H-ROS) With Victor Mayoral

 

In this episode I talk to Victor Mayoral, CTO of Erle/Acutronic about their Hardware ROS (or better known as H-ROS). We will talk about how they have implemented this hardware framework for building ROS based robots by combining hardware parts that natively work on ROS (no drivers required in the main computer). He will also explain us how to ROSify any hardware by using their SoM, and how they have applied this procedure to build a collaborative robot called MARA. And everything is working on ROS 2!

Selected quote:

“With H-ROS we make sure that all the components of the robot (sensors and actuators) speak the same language (and dialect!) simplifying enormously the integration process”

RDP 024: Using ROS 2 For Autonomous Cars With Dejan Pangercic

RDP 024: Using ROS 2 For Autonomous Cars With Dejan Pangercic

 

In this episode, I talk to Dejan Pangercic, the CTO of APEX.AI a company that is creating the first fork of ROS 2 to create a new operating system for autonomous cars based on ROS: The Apex.OS. Dejan explains us why ROS2 is the way to go for autonomous cars, how are they modifying the main release of ROS 2 to create a certified version of it for self-driving cars, and how all that integrates with Autoware.

Selected quote:

“We can consider that Apex.OS is for ROS 2 what Red Hat is for Linux”
