In this series of videos we are going to learn how to use MoveIt! package with industrial robots. In this series we are going to use the Sawyer robot by Rethink Robotics.

Remember that you can follow all the steps with me at the same time by using the ROS Development Studio, without having to install anything in your system, and by using any operating system (yes, you can learn ROS with Windows!!!).

The instructions and steps provided here can be also made in your local computer with a proper installation of ROS.

▸ Online course about how to learn to do ROS manipulation in 5 days, including grasping: https://goo.gl/v21WgA

ROS Manipulation is the term used to refer to any robot that manipulates something in its environment.
The main goal of this Course is to teach you the basic tools you need to know in order to be able to understand how ROS Manipulation works, and teach you how to implement it for any manipulator robot.
