85. ROS2 Control with Bence Magyar

85. ROS2 Control with Bence Magyar

Today we are going to learn about the current status of ROS2 Control, you know, the packages that allow us to control joints using ROS topics.

But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:

Some other robotics theory courses included are:

Of course all our courses are based on practice with simulated robots! (theory+practice)

Now let me introduce you Bence Magyar. Bence and I we worked together at Pal Robotics. Now he works as Lead software engineer for FiveAI. But the main reason he is here with us today is because he is the main maintainer of the ROS control packages.

Welcome to the podcast Bence!

ROS Developers LIVE-Class #20: Simulate an Industrial Environment

ROS Developers LIVE-Class #20: Simulate an Industrial Environment

 

In this Live Class we are going to see how to apply all that we have learnt in the previous classes about Gazebo. We are going to execute ARIAC simulation made by the OSRF. We are going to learn how to manage that simulation in order to make the robots perform useful tasks in the environment. We will indicate where Gazebo plugins were applied, how SDF was used to create the environment, were ROS control was applied, where ROS navigation was applied, etc. We will see how to create a simple Python program that allows us to make the robots do useful things.

A new ROS Live Class every Tuesday at 18:00 CET/CEST.
This is a LIVE Class on how to develop with ROS. In Live Classes you practice with me at the same time that I explain, with the provided free ROS material.

IMPORTANT: Remember to be on time for the class because at the beginning of the class we will share the code with the attendants.

IMPORTANT 2: in order to start practicing quickly, we are using the ROS Development Studio for doing the practice. You will need a free account to attend the class. Go to http://rds.theconstructsim.com and create an account prior to the class.
