[Tutorial] Stereolabs ZED on Nvidia Jetson TK1: the official getting started guide
On MyzharBot v4 the Asus Xtion Pro Live RGB-D sensor has been replaced by the Stereolabs ZED stereo camera, in order to overcome the limitations of the Primesense technology in outdoor environment under the direct sunlight. The installation of the ZED camera on the Nvidia Jetson TK1 is really straigthforward as…
Working on the ROS driver for the StereoLabs ZED camera running on Nvidia Jetson TK1
MyzharBot v3 is closed in a box ready to leave Italy for a trip that I will describe in the near future… MyzharBot v4 is almost ready to move its first steps… but I’m not yet convinced about the central closed structure that will contain all the electronic boards… So it’s…
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…
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…
