A robot follows the complex edge of a bent sheet metal puzzle piece. This demonstration was exhibited by SwRI with Motoman at ROSCon 2013 in Stuttgart, Germany, in May. Thanks to Motoman for their collaboration! For more information: ROSindustrial.org

Industrial Calibration Library

https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_calibration/tree/indigo-devel

The new ROS-Industrial Calibration package provides a suite of calibration capabilities which encapsulate best practices and convenient interfaces to common robot and camera calibration tasks. It is scriptable and flexible to solve arbitrary combinations of multi-view intrinsic and extrinsic parameter optimization problems. It automates calibrations so that users may execute them without requiring significant domain knowledge. Two example calibrations will be described: 1) intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of a camera using a target positioned by a robot; 2) extrinsic calibration of a camera mounted on the end-effector. In both cases, MoveIt! provides collision free motion planning for the robot.

The ROS-Industrial Calibration Library now supports multiple cameras and multiple views including integrated robot motion

Applications

http://rosindustrial.org/scan-n-plan https://github.com/ros-industrial-consortium/godel

The part is automatically detected thanks to the 3D scanner and the Bezier library automatically generates a 3D path on the surface to machine it. The user provides a CAD of the part, a rough estimation of the part location and the tool parameters.

Southwest Research Institute: Southwest Research conducted an interoperability demonstration at Automate 2013 in Chicago to showcase the advanced capabilities of ROS-Industrial. Two different robots collaborate to pick parts from a cluttered pile, recognize them, and sort them.
