MoveIt and ros_control demo’d on a SCARA robot in sim - @rosorg @PickNikRobotics & @waffle

Interesting to see Handle and Otto robots collaborating on warehouse fulfillment. @rosorg is likely present in half of these robots

@devemin Well that’s fantastic! Thanks for the repo link. I need to build one for myself now

@IanTheEngineer Hi! Yes, this is working on Ubuntu (jetson nano, Python) . If you have Raspberry pi or Jetson nano, you can control the robot by these scripts at github repository. you can do it too ! lol github.com/FlorianWilk/Sp…

Spot Microにようやく火が入りました！ 三角関数でお試しムーブ

Woah. Appears this giant Gundam is simulated in @GazeboSim / @OpenRoboticsOrg youtube.com/watch?v=wdYO_z…

@facontidavide 500th complete 🎉 The star is well earned here, it’s quite the useful tool

Will I get 9 Github stars before the end of 2019 to reach 500 stars? github.com/facontidavide/…

I’m really touched to read folks’ thoughts on the Baxter & Sawyer research robots. It was a great pleasure to serve the academic robotics community these last four years

@arita_dias In depth Expanded Universe conversation partners are few and far between! ‘Twas really fun. My brief Europe adventure has already come to an end. Lemme know next time you’re in Boston & we can discuss more JavaScript/Robots/Star Wars

Seems collaborative robotics just got a theme song @RethinkRobotics twitter.com/microsoft/stat…

Another terrific BOS/ROS User Group Workshop - thanks for organizing Chirs @OSRFoundation and Ian @RethinkRobotics

@ctwy @GRASPlab Ah unfortunately I don’t know. Hopefully it was!

@IanTheEngineer @GRASPlab Do you know if it was recorded?

Katherine Kuchenbecker gives *incredible* talks. She was my professor, so I’ve heard my fair share, and learned a ton in the process. Wish I could have been there for this one. Well done Katherine! @GRASPlab #maxplanck twitter.com/ieeevr/status/…

For further proof of Kathrine’s public speaking prowess check out her TEDEd talk youtu.be/6wJ9Aakddng

These aliases have definitely earned a spot in my .bashrc. Thanks @probablydavid twitter.com/probablydavid/…

Just open sourced Sawyer in Gazebo. Enjoy! @RethinkRobotics @GazeboSim @rosorg github.com/rethinkrobotic…

@chapulinaBR @GazeboSim Just yesterday I was looking for a method or mechanism to toggle a light source in Gazebo - Sawyer’s hand camera has an optional flash which I would love to model. Thanks for this!

@TomPJacobs @RethinkRobotics For sure! Sawyer Simulator brings up its own ROS master (along with Gazebo), so you will not need to be connected to the real robot to test your algorithms 🤖 I’ll post an announcement once its out of Beta next month and Open Sourced

@tinkernick @RethinkRobotics That’s due to the Sawyer Simulator repo being private at the moment during the beta period. Expect a full open source release of the repo (and announcement) sometime next month.

@meloneewise Looks a lot like the OUR-1 arm from Smokie Robotics (now Aubo Robotics?) crossed with a PR2. Interesting! cobotsguide.com/2016/06/smokie…
