Industrial and ROS-enabled mobile robots cooperation
Engineering Mechanics ... · 2018
In this article, the authors focus on the issue of developing an application enabling the cooperation of mobile robots with industrial robots.The mobile robots (TURTLEBOT) are based on ROS, whilst industrial robots (IRB 120) on RobotWare.The result of this project is robots cooperation using TCP/IP protocol communication.The robots cooperate to complete the required task which is a pick-place process of an item by the industrial robot on the mobile robot, which must navigate autonomously to the required position.The developed applications have been tested in a virtual mode using RobotStudio and ROS and in real mode with the use of real robots: mobile and industrial robots.
