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”
