I have used plume sim in Player/Stage - now I want to use it in ROS. However, I am not able to get much of a clue about installing it and using it.

At the moment i'm involved in a project where we are trying to built a Delta Robot. So i start reading the docs and tutorials and i've a few questions.

The kinematic model for the Delta Robot has already been developed; a inverse and forward model is available to me.

I'm trying to find out if i'm heading the right way. I've found a page on the ROS wiki named 'Running arm navigation on non-PR2 arm' [http://www.ros.org/wiki/arm_navigation/Tutorials/Running%20arm%20navigation%20on%20non-PR2%20arm]

Is it right to say that if i implement the functions mentioned in the article above that i can have a working Delta Robot (kinematic model, that is)? Is there perhaps a better way?

We are probably going with the Trio Whistle from ElmoMC for controlling the motors. I think it's best to start with developing the kinematic model and then implement packages for communication with the controller. Any tips or ideas on this? I've already found a package with CANopen support for the Elmo Harmonica [http://www.ros.org/wiki/cob_canopen_motor] (basically the same as a whistler)...

I have a general question about BSD licenses for statically compiled libraries.

The BSD license states, among other things,

{{{ Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

...

  • Redistribution's in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. }}}

Is shipping an executable that statically links portions of a BSD library "redistribution"? Does the BSD license agreement need to incorporated in that case?

The above clause is meant to apply to the library. However, when using statically linked libraries, they become incorporated into a larger binary, which is usually not redistributable.

How are these cases usually interpreted?
