| 2011-05-23 11:00:16 -0500 | answered a question | flann python bindings I'd be interested in this - it seems that python bindings for flann and a few other packages (can't remember off the top of my head) seem to come and go randomly, meaning our systems work, then there is an update and all python support disappears, then sometime later it all comes back. |

| 2011-04-17 12:07:50 -0500 | answered a question | RViz segfaults unless a monitor is connected, any way to prevent this? Load it up under gdb and run a backtrace to see what the root cause is. I'd guess that it's probably the graphics drivers causing the segfault, there are a number of Rviz segfaults that go away when using better/newer graphics drivers. |

| 2011-03-13 18:17:56 -0500 | answered a question | Gazebo or OpenRave We use OpenRAVE for all our simulations. After spending a few years running with Gazebo, we made the change to OpenRAVE as we found it more flexible, it better suited our needs and I haven't looked back since. Having said that, I haven't tried Gazebo again for almost 2 years and with all the love it's been getting recently, things might have changed. The biggest advantages we found were that OpenRAVE's plugin architecture allowed us to simply swap bits in and out (e.g. change the phsyics engine) without having to look deep into the code base, and the combination of a python and C++ API allowed very quick development. |
| 2011-03-13 16:46:15 -0500 | answered a question | How to create a household object model(3D mesh)? The link you give has a brief summary of the two methods that they used to create the models. I suspect that following the ICRA solutions in perceptions challenge there will be a number of methods published (probably with OpenSource libraries) that detail various approaches to this process. |
| 2011-03-10 09:49:22 -0500 | commented answer | Custom simulation using Stage We use OpenRAVE, it's meant to be a planning environment, but works really well as a simulator. We have done an autonomous sub, UAV, skid-steer loader, car-like robot and an iCreate. |
| 2011-03-08 16:04:01 -0500 | answered a question | What is the accuracy of the Kinect sensor? The ultimate accuracy is going to be determined by the range resolution. The range resolution for triangulation based range sensing is given by: delta_r = r^2/b*K_d Where r is range, b is baseline, K_d is some constant based on the disparity resolution (focal length * disparity resolution for standard stereo). I did some tests today and found that for our Kinect, using delta_r = r^2*0.0075 works pretty well. |

| 2011-02-22 08:56:05 -0500 | answered a question | Has anyone used any haptic devices in conjunction with ROS? The Cyphy lab at QUT has ROS drivers for the Novint Falcon on their ROS repo at launchpad. I think they are using it with a Mikrokopter. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cyphylab/cyphy/bonsai/files They also have a direct link to someone's dropbox account on their wiki, I'm not sure which version is more up to date. |
