ROS Developers Podcast

Today, I would like to dedicate the podcast to those ROS developers that are creating a robotics startup based on real robots. I mean hardware!! And you make your robots based on ROS. Yeah you are the best! For the brave, this podcast is dedicated to you! And today, it is my pleasure to

Today, it is my pleasure to introduce you Gregory Epps from React Robotics. Greg is the CEO of React Robotics a company based in London dedicated to the development of low-latency, torque-controlled, super-light robots with the aim to provide those robots to researchers so they can concentrate on testing the best artificial intelligence algorithms in physical robots.

ROS (Robot Operating System) is now very popular among roboticists. Researchers, hobbyists, and even robotics companies are using it, promoting it and supporting it. However, it was not always like that. Do you know ROS history? In the early days, ROS was an unknown only used by a bunch of robotics freaks. How did ROS reach

ROS (Robot Operating System) is now very popular among roboticists. Researchers, hobbyists, and even robotics companies are using it, promoting it and supporting it. However, it was not always like that. Do you know ROS history? In the early days, ROS was an unknown only used by a bunch of robotics freaks. How did ROS reach its current state as a robotics standard? Let's see in this podcast how ROS got to its current superior status.

A brief history of ROS up to 2019

It is my pleasure to introduce you Simon Steinmann. Simon is a student at University of British Columbia in Canada. There he works on his master thesis on robotics and machine learning. Since he needed to learn ROS for his thesis, Simon enrolled our Robot Ignite Academy to boost his ROS learning, and that is how I met him. Today, Simon is going to tell us more details about his ROS experiences.

Today, I would like to dedicate the podcast to those students that aim to become  ROS developers. If you are studying ROS for your undergraduate course, for your PhD thesis, for your job at a robotics company, just would to tell you that sometimes ROS can seem difficult and complex, but I can assure you

This episode is dedicated to the notion that you can make an impact in society by creating the intelligence of the robots of the future. I want to convert you into a robotics developer. In case you want to become a robotics developer, then you need to learn ROS. Wait a minute! Some questions arise

This episode is dedicated to the notion that you can make an impact in society by creating the intelligence of the robots of the future. I want to convert you into a robotics developer.

In case you want to become a robotics developer, then you need to learn ROS.

Wait a minute! Some questions arise here!

• First of all, why would I want to become a robotics developer?
• Second, in case I wanted, why should I learn ROS?

Good questions!

I'm Ricardo Tellez from The Construct. In this podcast we are going to explore the answers to all those questions. Stay with me and add some

By the way, this podcast episode is dedicated to all the developers of the world. You are building the world.

In this episode we interview Zach Allen, CEO of Slate Robotics. At Slate Zach and his team develop what is called a mobile manipulator. What is a mobile manipulator? It is a robot that is able to navigate around an environment and it is also able to grasp things. In order to work with human

In this episode Zach Allen, CEO of Slate Robotics will explain about his mobile manipulator TR2 robot. What is a mobile manipulator? It is a robot that is able to navigate around an environment and it is also able to grasp things. In order to work with human stuff, a mobile manipulator must be big enough to reach objects in tables, and capable enough to reach objects in the ground. Zach is going to tell us about their TR2 robot, what are its main features and how did they achieve to provide such nice robot for under $4.000. That is an impressive feat since other mobile manipulators around cost in the range of the $50.000.

And of course, everything is working with ROS!
