…package on top of a ROS package to bridge the simulation-to-reality gap. The APIs used for training in simulation or in the real world are similar. We make them as close as possible, and it's absolutely possible to train in both reality and simulation. The physics realism is fully tractable. We have annotated the objects' masses, and Unity has a…

…teams use common hardware and ROS-based software, what are some of the technical challenges this time? Mitchell: Can we demonstrate multicar high-speed automation? Another challenge we're facing is wear and tear from stress of practicing. Every car has wrecked at least once. The cars themselves become bit of a liability. The hardware gone through a lot, including transport from Indianapolis…

…to use, Open Robotics released ROS 2 Iron Irwini, marking the continuing evolution of the open-source Robot Operating System from an academic tool to a framework for commercial robotics development. Intrinsic, which Alphabet acquired from Open Robotics, announced the beta version of its Flowstate product for developers. “We've seen a lot of demand in AMRs, but it's still an immature…

…supports MassRobotics, VDA, and open-source ROS 2. We went from ‘Why should we work together?’ to now ‘How should we work together?’” V2.0 of interoperability standard in the works As the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) begins to adopt Version 1.0, MassRobotics and its partners are working on Version 2.0, which came out of an Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM)…

…program an 80% solution using ROS [the open-source Robot Operating System], but they need things that can be deployed in the real world today. Workers change jobs every six months, high school and store environments are cluttered, and they change every day. This is not some sleek science fiction world; it's messy. Our “secret sauce” at Brain Corp is that…

…just needs to be running ROS. All configurations live in a modular add-on system, allowing you to easily extend the system with your own tasks, robots, environments, evaluation methods, examples, and more. All our code is open-source under an MIT license. For more information, see the PDF download “BenchBot: Evaluating Robotics Research in Photorealistic 3D Simulation and on Real Robots.”…

…many approaches to tackle interoperability—the ROS [Robot Operating System] community is active on the subject, Mass Robotics developed a standard, VDMA and VDA published a specification, OPC is working on the topic, amongst others. It will be hard to achieve critical mass and make a sustainable impact. We need large scale implementation and adoption—and this most likely will require collaboration…
