General ROS Packages and other robot-agnostic code developed at ARC lab.
This repository contains Catkinized packages for ROS Groovy+. It will not build on ROS Fuerte or earlier!
simple_robot_kinematics - Provides a simple Python interface to the forward and inverse kinematics services of a robot. Formerly supported the PR2 using arm_navigation, now supports the PR2 using MoveIt!. Support will be added for the Baxter robot in the near future.
generic_tf_broadcaster - Provides a simple fixed-frame TF broadcaster configurable via launch file. This is used extensively in other lab projects.
ros_email - Provides a SMTP email client for ROS that supports both simple text-only emails and emails with attached files. This package allows your robot to send email notifications and tweet both text and pictures using widely available email->Twitter services.
UDEV_rules - Provides UDEV rules to set device access permissions for devices used in lab, and a script to install them.
simple_robot_kinematics - Package has been catkinized, awaiting testing with MoveIt! on the PR2 in simulation and real hardware.
generic_tf_broadcaster - Package is stable and tested.
UDEV_rules - All current rules are stable and tested.
ros_email - Package is stable and tested.
