Simple robot arm controlled by ROS and MoveIt – Part 2
In this post I progress my journey to learn ROS. I installed MoveIt, and used it to plan and simulate my robot’s motion. The simulation is then connected to the robot, and is used to drive the motion of the physical robot arm.
Simple robot arm controlled by ROS and MoveIt – Part 1
This post will describe the start of my journey to build a ROS driven servo based robot arm. I have started by buying a 6 DOF servo based robot arm kit. I then modelled the arm in Fusion 360 – the 3D model provides all the components required to create the robot simulation within ROS.
