ROS

ROS 2 has become one of the most important technologies for engineers interested in robotics. But beginners often struggle with the same questions: Should I learn ROS 1 first? Do I need a physical robot? Which programming language should I know? And is ROS actually used in production?We discussed these questions with Shubham Nandi, co-founder and Chief Research…

Youtuber Harrison Low created a new robot that can effectively juggle objects like humans, called the JuggleBot. The entire bot is built using carbon fiber material for strength and durability. The Jugglebot is based on the Stewart platform with 6 degrees of freedom. For movement, the Jugglebot uses a custom custom-designed linear actuator. The actuators are built using brushless DC…

Renesas Electronics has teamed up with eProsima to simplify the development of professional robotics applications for IoT and industrial systems. The company announced that its EK-RA6M5 Evaluation Kit for RA MCUs is now the official supported hardware platform of the micro-ROS development framework (robotics operating system for MCUs).

The micro-ROS…

XGO-Mini from Luwu, a STEM education technology company is a 12 DOF, omnidirectional quadruped robot that can interact with its surroundings using voice, image recognition, and tracking. This advanced programmable, open-source robot has 12 degrees of freedom based on inverse kinematics. It can easily act, walk, and react like a dog and is capable of movement …

Renesas extends the features of its high-performance, 32-bit RX65N Series microcontrollers to support the DDS-XRCE (Data-Distribution Service for Extremely Resource Constrained Environments™), one of the upcoming protocol standards for ROS 2 communicationis to accelerate the development of robotics systems to deliver intelligence at the industrial endpoint. It enables the…
