Here’s a peek at the tethered LiDAR we're deploying in Greenland this summer. We're hoping to get first measurements of mega-crevasse depths.🤞
Thankful to @EPFL_CREATE for this collaboration!

@GlacierBytes Amazing!! Keep us updated😄

Slightly late to the game, but we have also been working on the Vision Pro dexterous teleop system!

Using the compliant ADAPT Hand, looking for potential directions for sensing, learning, bimanual, etc😁

Looking for discussions at #ICRA2024!

It’s demonstration time at #SRD2023 @EPFL_CREATE showing their GOAT robot, good over all terrains

Want to use efficient shared memory transport between #docker containers and #ROS 2 nodes running on the same machine?

Here is our template repository how to build #ROS2 images and run them with --net=host and correct uid/pid: https://t.co/auu40f6xbL

@ooeygui Very cool project for bringing Arduino and ROS folks closer together.

For ROSbloX, we used micropytvon so far. But having wiring.h on microcomputers is great for using some of the many cpp/Arduino libraries.

@optitrack motion capture ROSbloX, https://t.co/Hy4xSnK29F: Wondering about origin of message delay (blue) revealed unstable network connection.

Fix: Delay compensation in timestamps (red). PR for @FMrico submitted.

#developing #Robotics with @rosorg #ros2 and @foxglovedev.

ROSbloX GSCam is now available: https://t.co/XjfGfuZ4Ij

Stream (compressed) images from a USB webcam using gstreamer and the gscam #ROS2 package: https://t.co/6RxblEv56X

ROSbloX come with built in connectivity and data visualization.

@foxglovedev, @OpenRoboticsOrg, @rosorg

[ROSbloX @xploros]

You can now use @LivoxTech's #ROS2 LiDAR driver as ROSbloX, https://t.co/Wlxts0utiG.

No setup or compilation required. Includes plug-and-play data visualization with @foxglovedev Studio.

[ROSbloX @xploros]

New ROSbloX available.

The Blox PCA9685, https://t.co/QDvXeCidy0, implements a @rosorg #ROS2 driver to interface with @adafruit's PWM/Servo modules via I2C, e.g. https://t.co/cJ1XPVBS0z, https://t.co/nfPPW244uA, https://t.co/LNiRnWhj1h, https://t.co/fLN07Dphm2.

[ROSbloX @xploros]

Here comes a new ROSbloX.

The Blox Ina220, https://t.co/MylzLYYtxR, publishes battery state data. It interfaces with the Ina220 sensor over I2C which is commonly used in drones, e.g. Holybro's https://t.co/gafc861YuI or https://t.co/EhLTdT2zQU

[ROSbloX @xploros]

Excited to announce the #ROSbloX project, https://t.co/fBfAGvlPdN, a collection of hardware modules to discover the capabilities of #ROS 2 with ease. Feedback, questions and suggestions are most welcome.
