Orocos at ROSCON 2013, May 11-12 Submitted by peter on Tue, 2013-04-16 08:58 ROSCon is a developers’ conference, in the model of PyCon and BoostCon. Following the success of the inaugural ROSCon in St. Paul, Minnesota this year’s ROSCon will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, immediately following the ICRA conference. Sylvain Joyeux will give a talk about 'ROS and Rock: mixing Orocos components and ROS nodes into a model-driven toolchain' on the first day. Orocos users and developers visiting ICRA are invited to stay one or two days longer in order to attend this event and meet with each other. » Login or register to post comments Orocos Toolchain 2.6.0 Released ! Submitted by peter on Mon, 2012-12-03 22:53 Orocos-users The Orocos Toolchain developers are content[1] to announce the 2.6 release cycle of the Orocos Toolchain. As in the previous release cycle, the emphasis is on stability, incremental development and stable API's. » 14 comments See complete post... Announcing the geometric relations semantics software Submitted by Tinne De Laet on Mon, 2012-06-11 10:03 Orocos-users Dear orocos-user and orocos-developer, With this email I want to announce the "geometric-relations-semantics" software (http://www.orocos.org/wiki/geometric-relations-semantics-wiki). The geometric relations semantics software (C++) implements the geometric relation semantics theory, hereby offering support for semantic checks for your rigid body relations calculations. This will avoid commonly made errors, and hence reduce application and, especially, system integration development time considerably. » Login or register to post comments See complete post... Robotics Tech days at CEA LIST 15-16 March Submitted by jean.sreng on Thu, 2012-02-23 14:22 Orocos-users The Robotics teams of the CEA LIST (France) are organizing some Tech days for our research partners. Since we are (heavily) using Orocos (mainly RTT, OCL) we thought that the Orocos community might be interested as well. » 2 comments See complete post... Orocos iTaSC & rFSM workshop at ERF@Odense Submitted by peter on Wed, 2012-02-22 21:38 Orocos-users At the European Robotics Forum 2012 KU Leuven and Intermodalics are organizing a three-part seminar, appealing to both industry and research institutes, titled: Introduction to state charts and reusable, modular task specification through the Orocos eco-system Hands-on-1: getting started with rFSM state charts in the Orocos eco-system Hands-on-2: getting started with instantaneous motion specification using constraints (iTaSC): reusable and modular task specification For all information, you can consult the Workshop page » Login or register to post comments See complete post... Telesurgery with reliable force feedback Submitted by peter on Tue, 2011-11-15 09:36 Applications RTT 2.x Bert Willaert, researcher at department of Mechanical Engineering at the KU Leuven, Belgium, has used OROCOS for a highly dynamic force-feedback application.

Submitted by fosini on Mon, 2011-10-17 12:57 Taking advantage that quite a few Orocos users and developers were attending IROS 2011 in San Francisco, USA, an informal meeting was organized to get to know each other and exchange our experiences and use cases. Among the attendants were people from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, that were showing live demos on robots like the PR2, the Kuka LWR, and the Kuka Youbot; NASA, that is currently using and evaluating Orocos in the context of the Robonaut 2 project; and PAL Robotics, that uses Orocos on their biped and wheeled robots REEM-B and REEM, respectively. Meeting developers from the mailing list in person is always great as it attaches a face to the email. Moreover, getting the opportunity to learn about the other's challenges and success stories is great for identifying future collaborations and moving the Orocos community forward. We hope to repeat this experience soon, and with more of us! » Login or register to post comments Orocos Toolchain v2.5.0 released ! Submitted by peter on Fri, 2011-10-07 09:25 Orocos-users RTT 2.x The Orocos development team is proud to announce the fifth major release of the Orocos Toolchain. It's a fat month late, partly due to your maintainer being loaded, partly due to the had-to-fix-show-stoppers that popped up the last month. The end result is shining though. » 3 comments See complete post... Using Orocos to visually track a free-floating target in micro-gravity Submitted by snrkiwi on Sun, 2011-09-18 19:33 Orocos Applications Applications Robotics RTT 1.x Real-time control and data acquisition The Robotics Demonstration and Test team, in the NASA Goddard Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office, used the Orocos ecosystem to control a Motoman SIA10D industrial robot to demonstrate autonomous visual tracking of both cooperative, and uncooperative, targets in microgravity.

Submitted by peter on Fri, 2011-07-08 09:48 Orocos-users RTT 2.x Based on the Orocos Toolchain v2.4.0, this release fixes the 'type mismatch' issue for Ubuntu Lucid users. Also other small fixes for the Orocos-ROS integration have been applied, such as a cmake problem when generating typekits and generating a correct header file name in the typekit/ subdirectory.
