Asus Xtion Pro Live mounted with a 3D printed support
Since I decided to add an Asus Xtion Pro Live to MyzharBot, I had a hard question to reply: how do I fasten the sensor to the robot? Today I finally solved the problem using a 3D printed support designed by a user from Thingiverse website.
ROS – working on driver for DepthSense DS325 camera
To give to MyzharBot a better 3D knowledge of the environment I’m working on the integration on ROS of the 3D RGB-D sensor DepthSense DS325 by SoftKinetic. DS325 is a RGB-D camera based on Time-of-Flight technology.
The guide to configure Nvidia Jetson TK1 has been update
The guide to configure the Nvidia Jetson TK1 to get the best performance for MyzharBot and other robotic systems has been updated with the latest tweaks from Jetsonhack Blog. There is also a new tutorial on how to activate the Wifi Access Point. Now you can connect directly to MyzharBot without needing…
MyzharBot at GTC2015 thanks to Nvidia
Since december 2014 I started a good collaboration with the “NVIDIA Embedded Computing” team to unlock the full potential of Myzharbot. Nvidia is supporting my robotic project with technical guidance, hardware and software support. MyzharBot is now being promoted at official Nvidia events and conference shows and it will be at GTC2015…
New video: Teleoperation using ROS, Rviz and Interactive Marker Twist Server
In this new video a demonstration of the teleoperation of MyzharBot using the “Interactive Marner Twist Server“, an amazing Rviz tool that allows to send Twist (linear and angular speeds) messages to the “serial_bridge” node simply dragging a circular marker. The final effect is really good and driving the robot is…
Asus Xtion Pro Live – 3D RGB-D and 2D laserscan simulation
A short post to show the potentiality of the Asus Xtion Pro Live used in the ROS framework. First of all an image of the full RGB-D power: 3D pointcloud with RGB information in Rviz In the middle of the 3D pointcloud you can see the simulation of the 2D laserscan…
