Cartesian motion for a Panda robot
Cartesian motion and an autonomous drawing routine for a Panda robot arm, packaged in ROS.
CARTESIAN MOTION04
ROS / Panda manipulatorThe question
How do you turn a geometric shape into a path a robot arm can follow?
The approach
I built a ROS package for a Panda manipulator with Cartesian control of the end-effector. A planning routine lets the arm draw a geometric shape autonomously.
How it works
Plan the path
The drawing routine describes the end-effector's movement in Cartesian space, translating a shape into a sequence of positions.
Move the arm
The ROS package connects motion planning with the Panda manipulator so the arm can follow the drawing routine.
