SWORD Introductory Workshop
Mar

10:00 AM10:00

SWORD Introductory Workshop

As part of the launch of SWORD and due to the roots in feedback from the ROS-Industrial Consortium to provide means to take advantage of the capabilities in ROS in an intuitive and graphical way (Easy Button!) we are excited to offer this free introduction to SWORD.

SwRI Workbench for Offline Robotics Development™ (SWORD™) is a plugin for FreeCAD that integrates robotics capabilities into a familiar, cross-platform environment. The easy-to-use graphical interface harnesses powerful motion-planning libraries for simplified, code-free robotics development.

SWORD is a streamlined tool for both robotics engineers and software developers. It supports Robot Operating System (ROS) applications or can be used independently of ROS. Check out the nice flyer with all the details!

Where: Southwest Research Institute Campus

When: March 26, Day before the ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas Annual Meeting.

Registration: Registration is required and it open! You can register for this even on this page: Registration CLOSED!

What: An interactive, hands on with SWORD setting up an application and experimenting with the various features. Some of which include:

Environment Modeling

  • Create or import a CAD model of your robot,including fixtures and end-of-arm-tooling
  • Manipulate and control your robot model using joint sliders
  • Simulate movement with TCP Dragger using multiple IK solvers

Robot Manipulation and Motion Planning

  • Generate motion plan using Tesseract-supported path planners
  • Create custom planning pipelines for applicationspecific behavior
  • Predict and avoid movement collision

Command Language

  • Define robot motion using Cartesian or joint waypoints
  • Specify different move segment types (joint/Cartesian) and motion groups
  • Insert supplementary commands (I/O, delays, etc.)

ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas 2023 Annual Meeting
May
24
to May 25

ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas 2023 Annual Meeting

The ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas will host its annual meeting in conjunction with the Automate 2023 show in Detroit. The annual Members' Meeting is a chance to understand the latest developments relative to ROS-Industrial, both within the Americas and around the world. There will be a chance to engage on the strategy for how ROS-I capability is shaped, in particular with the latest developments around ROS 2, and new successes and tools to leverage ROS 2.

This is always a great opportunity to engage with other interested end-users, OEMs, solution providers and researchers on open source, interoperable, agile software capabilities. The collaborations that emerge through these interactions have led to significant accomplishments, of which you will learn about at this gathering. We look forward to seeing everyone in Detroit!

When: May 25, 2023 (The last full day of Automate 2023)

Location: Room 250 within the Huntington Place Conference complex.

Pre-meeting Dinner: A networking dinner will be held at the Apparatus Room across the street from the event center at 7:00 PM on May 24. Dinner is included and is walking distance from Huntington Place near downtown.

Host: Matt Robinson, RIC-Americas Program Manager

Registration: Registration has Closed

Agenda:

Morning Program

  • 0745 – Light Breakfast, Check In
  • 0820 – Welcome and ROS-I Americas State of the Consortium, Matt Robinson, RIC-Americas Program Manager
  • 0850 – ROS-I European Union - Towards reference robot cell for ROS2, Christoph Hellmann Santos, ROS-I EU Program Manager, Fraunhofer IPA
  • 0920 – ROS-I Asia-Pacific - Developing ROS 2 Platform Technologies - from unit to system level, Maria Vergo, ROS-I AP Program Manager, ARTC
  • 0950 – Break
  • 1000 – Intrinsic - What's New in ROS 2 Iron Irwini, Kat Scott, Developer Relations
  • 1030 –PickNik - MoveIt Studio and MoveIt Space: Bringing ROS to New Frontiers, Dave Coleman, CEO
  • 1100 – SFSA - Job Shop Automation - A Pilot for the Foundry of the Future - David Poweleit, SFSA & Matt Robinson, SwRI
  • 1130 – Lunch

Lunch Keynote - Agile Automation for Aerospace Manufacturing - Shane Whitaker, Lockheed Martin

  • Lockheed Martin's interest in using ROS is part of their goal to achieve agile automation, which enables them to quickly and efficiently develop and deploy new robotic capabilities to meet their advanced manufacturing requirements. ROS allows them to add new functionalities to multiple brands of robot hardware, and keep up with the latest advancements in robotics. With ROS, Lockheed Martin can focus their development time on solving the problem at hand, instead of spending valuable time building functionalities from scratch.

Rotating Workshops

  • Collaborating Consortium Steel Founders' Society of Americas - Next Gen
    • Review of SFSA Industry 4.0 activities and work with interested parties on capability of interest and the use cases that may shape a roadmap for capabilities that align with the Foundry of the Future vision that the SFSA has been maintaining, and implementing with the recent Job Shop Automation pilot deployment at their member site Fisher Cast Steel.
  • Discussion on Open Source Robotics with Adam Norton
    • To support and improve the development and deployment of robotic manipulation systems, the open-source ecosystem should facilitate development and dissemination of open-source assets (i.e., hardware, software, datasets), benchmarking practices, and sharing of results. Such a distributed, community-driven venue would enable researchers and developers to share and learn about open-source resources, find tools to utilize them, collaborate on developing systematic robot experimentation methodologies, and disseminate their findings. During this workshop, we will facilitate forum discussions around two topics: (1) identification of current gaps that limit the effectiveness of the ecosystem (e.g., hardware access, simulation fidelity, lack of relevant assets), and (2) proposing solutions to the identified issues and improve the state of the ecosystem (e.g., establishing advisory boards, integrating benchmark promotion within ROS, developing streamlined infrastructure). The primary goal is to receive feedback from workshop attendees to drive the development and implementation of new activities for an improved open-source ecosystem.

  • Improving Tools for Industry with Michael Ripperger

    • Reflecting on the rapid changes in the open source robotics space and the acceleration of the adoption of ROS 2 this workshop seeks to develop inputs to drive specific actions around resource development, training content, and potential programs/collaborations that lead to improved adoption of ROS 2 within industry. We will provide a snap shot of current tools and resources, and seek feedback on their efficacy to understand areas for improvement. Discussions may center on developer resources, resources for decision makers, as well as utilities/tools for those wanting to provide content for use by developers/solution providers. The outcomes from this workshop will influence proposed working groups, roadmaps for specific capabilities and resource development available to the community.

Afternoon Program

  • 1430 – Spirit AeroSystems - Empowering Aerospace Manufacturing: ROS-Powered Innovations at Spirit AeroSystems, Bharath Rao, Senior Research Lead Robotics/AI
  • 1500 – Siemens - Factory Automation Applications enabled by Robotics AI, Dr. Eugen Solowjow, Head of Research
  • 1530 – Break
  • 1540 – Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) - Fast and Accurate Robot Tracking of 3D Curves, Dr. John Wen, Professor and Head of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering
  • 1610 – ARM Institute - Update On ARM Institute Initiatives, Joseph Giampapa, Principal Robotics Scientist
  • 1640 – Yaskawa America - MotoROS2: Yaskawa Motoman Native ROS 2 Node - Ted Miller, Associate Chief Specialist
  • 1710 – Adjourn

We look forward to collaborating with the membership and fostering a discussion on what is on the near horizon with regards to open source advanced robotics development.

After registering you will receive confirmation with information on how to join the event.

We once again will be offering live stream of the presentation portion of the morning and afternoon programs. Registration for live stream of talks is below:
