Revision history [back]

There isn't any plan to support the dual arm robots. However, several people have expressed interest and this is something that the ROS-Industrial developers would like to support. The development effort to support the dual arm robots is probably a small, but non-trivial effort. I am guessing, but I believe we have enough tools and libraries to do it. Unfortunately, the ROS-Industrial developers do not have access to the hardware and don't have a good knowledge of the controller architecture. I would suggest the following:

• Let motoman know that this is something you would like. The more times they hear ROS and ROS-Industrial the better. Who knows, they might provide some support for developing the dual arm drivers.
• If you have access to the dual arm hardware, you might be in the best position to develop this code yourself (that's probably not the answer you want to hear). If you are interested I recommend that you join the ROS-Industrial developers group ( https://groups.google.com/group/swri-ros-pkg-dev?hl=en_US )
