2013-08-19 08:49:53 -0500 asked a question Maxon EPOS and ROS

Hello !

I am wondering if anybody has experience with Maxon EPOS controllers and ROS ?

There is a nice package from WPI, but it works with kernel 2.6 ...

The older versions of Ubuntu are not supported, and the new ROS versions are not running on the older Ubuntu systems ...

And the most annoying is that MAXON do no have forums or reliable support ! Thinking of tossing the EPOS controllers to the bin ...

Unless somebody can help.

Tnx ! Yaro

2012-05-28 05:28:22 -0500 commented question tactile sensors and urdf

I looked into (gripper.urdf.xacro) and (pr2_description/urdf/sensors) but found nothing related to tactile sensors. I looked into (pr2_gripper_sensor_controller) but everything seems to be hard wired and not generalised. Therefore I wonder if anybody used urdf and tf for tactile sensors ....

2012-05-27 10:07:59 -0500 asked a question tactile sensors and urdf

I am working on a robotic hand, and tactile sensors are available on each finger ... I made a urdf to describe the kinematics of the hand, and now I am thinking of including tactile sensors.

a) Is there a common approach to include tactile sensors in urdf ? Should it be done using some fixed joints for each sensor separately ? (there are about 100 sensors, it will be a pain to include :S)

b) The representation of them should be done using markers I presume ?

Also, any suggestions on the usage of tactile arrays with tf package ? googled but found nothing.

Thank you! Yaro
