Common Robots not too long ago launched their new e-Sequence cobots, constructing on an industry-leading experience with greater than 25,000 cobots already deployed worldwide.
The e-Sequence line boasts class-leading simplicity, flexibility and fast deployment functionality. It’s extra correct, simpler to program, has built-in force-torque sensors, 32 I/Os and works with a various number of Common robots licensed end-effectors, equipment and software program options.
When the e-Sequence cobots have been launched, they didn’t have ROS functionality or assist. We labored intently with UR in creating the ROS libraries. We examined the brand new ROS drivers on a UR5e with software program ver 5.0 and likewise on a UR5 with software program ver 3.5 to confirm backwards compatibility. All the code is made out there to the general public so customers can study and confirm the code (see obtain hyperlinks beneath).
Utilizing ROS doesn’t intervene with the protection mechanism of the cobot. For instance, ROS can be utilized to command the robotic to go to a sure place, but it surely’s the UR controller that really makes the motion. Due to this, security remains to be enabled on the robotic.
Clearpath gives the UR collaborative robotic arms with ROS integration and assist which offers turn-key accessibility to ROS growth instruments, sensor drivers and libraries. ROS software program libraries are pre-loaded and examined with assist for ROS, RViz and MoveIt!
About ROS
ROS (Robotic Working System) it’s an open supply system extensively utilized in tutorial and company analysis. ROS.org describes ROS as “a versatile framework for writing robotic software program. It’s a assortment of instruments, libraries, and conventions that purpose to simplify the duty of making complicated and strong robotic conduct throughout all kinds of robotic platforms.”
Our ROS 101 tutorials present the data and instruments that you must get began with ROS. The tutorials are designed for each novices and superior customers of ROS.
