  • ROS Notes: Map Resolution

  • Now that I’m driving Phoebe around and mapping my house, I’m starting to get some first-hand experience with robotic mapping. One of the most fascinating bits of revelation concerns map resolution. When a robot launches the Gmapping module, one...
  • [Enlightened] ROS Tutorials, Part 1

  • The first few ROS tutorial pieces have gone well. I'm getting a feel for catkin (the build manager within ROS). Reminds me of PHP's artisan manager for Laravel.I've gotten to the point in the tutorials where apparently I will need some manner of Xwin...
  • Next Project Goal: ROS Navigation

  • When I started working on my own TurtleBot variant (before I even decided to call it Phoebe) my intention was to build a hardware platform to get first hand experience with ROS fundamentals. This project page's subtitle declared itself as a ROS robot...
  • Testing ROS, MoveIt and RViz

  • Quick RecapFor the past few days I have been figuring out the ROS environment. I decided to use ROS as the primary ecosystem for the robot in order to take advantage of MoveIt and RViz. Before, the robot ran off a custom controller, inverse kinematics...
  • Sawppy on ROS: Open Problems

  • A great side effect of giving a presentation is that it requires me to gather my thoughts in order to present them to others. Since members of RSSC are familar with ROS, I collected my scattered thoughts on ROS over the past few weeks and condensed the...
  • Radiation Counting - Ready for ROS

  • After we got a single radiation detectors to work with an Arduino Nano, the next step was to connect three of them to the board and write a sketch that provides the data as ROS topics using the rosserial package. Instead of using a breadboard to connect...
  • Johnny-five/nodebots vs. ROS

  • To celebrate #PiDay 2017, I decided it was time to investigate options for open-source robotics libraries and protocols that I could use with my Raspberry Pi 3 (and Arduino Mega). There's still a part of me that wants to just keep exploring and building...
  • Update of the ROS-network

  • Hi! I merged a huge update for zakharos_core - the main part of the Zakhar project. The repository is a Robot Operating System network where the main application consists of ego-like nodes: the consciousness (the main application) and instincts...
  • ROS Navigation Up and Running

  • I’ve been making progress (slowly but surely) thorough the ROS navigation stack tutorial to get it running on Phoebe, and finally reached the finish line. After all the configuration YAML files were created, they were tied together into a launch...
  • Real-time Control with ROS

  • Real-time feedback is an important ingredient in tool embodiment. That is, when a tool reacts fluidly to human intention and the result of its action is available immediately and continuously it can feel like an extension of the body of the user. Like...
