ROSIN: ROS-I as an EU Digital Industrial Platform for Robotics
Mirko Bordignon – Fraunhofer IPA May 16 2017
Mirko Bordignon (ROS-Industrial Europe and Fraunhofer IPA): The ROSIN Project
Provided an overview of the new ROSIN European initiative. ROSIN was launched to bring ROS to the factory floor with a focus on improving software quality. Included is a targeted investment for ROS-Industrial Focused Technical Projects. Educational activities are included as a key component of the initiative to support wider adoption.
Dave Coleman (PickNik): MoveIt! Code Sprint – Minimum Cycle Time Motion for Bin Picking
Introduced the MoveIt! Code Sprint focused on integrating existing academic motion planners into MoveIt! that have the potential to improve cycle time, optimize existing planners, and systematically compare performance for industrial use cases.
Paul Hvass (PlusOne Robotics): Sensor Configuration and Calibration Assistant
Presented a project to create a graphical user interface for the industrial calibration package with preset configurations for the most common calibration cases to simplify the calibration process.
Min Ling Chan (ROS-Industrial Asia Pacific and A*STAR): PackML Business Analytics Dashboard
Highlighted a PackML (Packaging Machine Language) project focused on creating an ability to run ROS across multiple OEM PLCs for manufacturing plants for communication between PLCs, increased interoperability, modularity, and efficiency. Proposed is a new Business Analytics Dashboard to provide users an intuitive display of the real-time root cause analysis and OEE.
