Build Status

Features

  • Native ROSJava nodes running on the robot as a Sunrise RoboticApplication: supports ROS parameters, topics, services, etc.
  • Integration of KUKA's SmartServo motions:
    • joint position, joint velocity and cartesian position control via simple ROS messages.
    • online configuration of JointImpedance, CartesianImpedance, DesiredForce and Sine(Force)Pattern via ROS service.
    • online configuration of joint velocity and acceleration via ROS service.
    • updates on the time left to reach the commanded destination via ROS service.
  • The Sunrise tool to use can be selected via a ROS parameter.
  • Gravity compensation by setting the appropriate JointImpedance values.
  • NTP synchronization with a server running on the ROS master
  • full MoveIt! integration
  • Gazebo support

Usage

The features and usage of the stack are described in depth on its WIKI.
We strongly suggest to have a look at the wiki to have a better understanding of the code, both for its use and its extension.
