…the Robot Operating System, or ROS 2. PoliMOVE pulls ahead in close contest Yesterday's challenge required racecars to take turns passing one another as leader/defender and follower/passer/attacker for the first time at speeds of 80, 115, and 155 mph (128.7, 185, and 249.4 kph). Six of the nine teams qualified for the head-to-head competition Saturday. In the run leading into…

…OTTO said it enables any ROS-based AMR to be controlled by a VDA5050 Central Control—including competitors’ systems if they adopt the standard. This also ensures quick compatibility and accelerates global support for the standard, said the company, whose open-source code can be accessed on GitHub. OTTO Motors added that it has conducted rigorous tests to verify the functionality of VDA…

…using the Robot Operating System 〈ROS〉 as an open-source “bridge.” The group decided that the data to be shared should be in two messages: A setup message A status message (to include future destination) It also chose JSON over Websockets as the protocol to be used in the initial standard, which could incorporate other methods in the future. MassRobotics has…

…added Walker. “We both have ROS-native systems and can merge behaviors and the user experience. We'll be able to reduce size and cost as we integrate further.” “Manufacturers are the 'first movers' with precise machine tending,” he said. “The robot is able to fit into situations where workers already have a process. It can reach into a machine or collect…

…a robotics operating system like ROS, or an emerging layer of software like what SVT Robotics has brought to the market? Will it be from the likes of Apple, Google, or Microsoft? I’m betting on the new layer of software, and I think it’s essential to moving robotics forward in our space. Those are some of the questions I want…

…Waypoint Robotics. “InOrbit even has ROS code with the standard baked in. We wanted to bring to robotics development what agile [methodology] does—rapid iterations versus waiting a year for perfection in the waterfall approach.” InOrbit recently joined MassRobotics' standard effort. Its CEO, Florian Pestoni, is also co-founder of the Robot Operations Group (ROG), an industry community dedicated to advancing robot…
