ROS2 Ultimate guide for Custom Robotic Arms and Panda 7 DOF

🚀 [ROS Ultimate Guide for Custom Robotic Arms & Panda 7 DOF] 🤖

Course Workflow:

Creating BAZU from Scratch:

We kick off our journey by designing and constructing a bespoke robotic arm, which we'll call BAZU. This involves crafting the URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) file, detailing every joint and link, to bring your robot to life in ROS.

Implementing Controllers:

Dive into the ros_control package to integrate position, effort, and Joint Trajectory controllers into BAZU. This will enable your robot to respond to commands intelligently and efficiently.

Mastering DH Tables for Kinematics:

Unlock the secrets of forward and inverse kinematics using DH tables with the Robotics Toolbox by Peter Corke. You'll be able to solve these crucial movements for your custom robot, ensuring it can execute tasks accurately.

Transitioning to the Panda 7 DOF:

Once you've mastered the basics with BAZU, we'll transition to the well-known Franka Emika Panda robotic arm. You'll install a custom controller, solving forward and inverse kinematics for this commercial robot, making it an extension of your will.

Action Lib Interface for Trajectory Control:

The course culminates with creating an action library interface for the Panda robot. This will allow you to send waypoints and watch as the robot's end effector mimics any shape you define, all within ROS.
