[ROS Projects] OpenAI with Hopper Robot in Gazebo Step-by-Step #Part2

by Miguel Angel | Jun 7, 2018 | Robotics with ROS

We continue setting up OpenAI-Gym to make a Hopper robot learn in Gazebo simulator, using ROS Development Studio. If you didn't follow the previous post, here are the links: [ROS Projects] Create a Hopper Robot in Gazebo Step-by-Step [ROS Projects] OpenAI with Hopper...

[ROS Projects] – My Robotic Manipulator – #Part 4 – ROS + URDF/Transmission + Gazebo Controllers

by Marco Arruda | Jun 6, 2018 | Robotics with ROS

In this video we are going to set up in our robotic manipulator a new URDF element: Transmissions. After that, we are able to integrate ROS and gazebo simulation using ROS controllers. We'll use a simplified model of the robot to see how it works. At the end of the...

RDP 015: Using ROS for Rescue Robots with Peter Kopias

by Ricardo Tellez | Jun 5, 2018 | ROS Developers Podcast

In this episode, we talk about how Peter is using ROS to create rescue robots that win robotics contests. He will explain what are the current limitiations of rescue robots and why they need a human pilot to drive them. He will also explain how they are doing...

ROS Extra Class: How to use GPS to do autonomous robot navigation?

by Ricardo Tellez | Jun 4, 2018 | ROS LIVE-Class, ROS Q&A

Basically what we are going to teach in this extra Live-Class is: 1- How to record a trajectory that you would like the robot to do 2- How to make the robot reproduce that trajectory Everything using the GPS as localization system. This time we are going to use...

ROS Developers LIVE-Class #18: Let’s Simulate a World in Gazebo Simulator

by Ricardo Tellez | Jun 4, 2018 | ROS LIVE-Class, ROS Q&A

In this ROS LIVE-Class we're going to create a world in the Gazebo simulator for the previous differential drive manipulator we created in the previous class, so the robot can navigate around and interact with the objects. The model of the robot was created...
