In this section, we will talk about what can we do with ROS-I today. We will focus our discussion section on ROS deployment or ROS being deployed in an industrial setting.
We will talk about the lowest components of the POS-I software stack, the hardware devices, ROS capabilities in an industrial setup, and amazing applications.
Currently, ROS-I has a device driver for five different robot manufactures: ABB, Fanuc, Universal Robots, Motoman, and Adept, which are shown in the following photograph:
There are a couple of models from these robot manufactures that are supported in ROS-I packages. The new robot models can be easily added by these manufacturers, which do not require any software changes, expect configuration. Sometimes, robot mesh and kinematics need to be added...
