In a previous article, I explained how Machinekit and ROS could be combined to build fully autonomous robots. In this article, I focus on my project of retro-fitting an industrial robot arm with Machinekit and using it with ROS. The combination of ROS and Machinekit leverages the low-level real-time motion control capabilities of Machinekit and the high-level robotic tools that ...
Combining Machinekit and ROS to build Open Source Robots
11 minutes read
When you read this article you probably have heard about either ROS or Machinekit, but very likely not thought about combining both to build fully open source robots. Machinekit is an open source motion control software project. The aim of the project is to simplify the creation of motion control systems, be it CNCs, special machines or robots. ROS, the ...
