RDP85. ROS2 Control with Bence Magyar

Today we are going to learn about the current status of ROS2 Control, you know, the packages that allow us to control joints using ROS topics.

Let me introduce you Bence Magyar. Bence and I we worked together at Pal Robotics. Now he works as Lead software engineer for FiveAI. But the main reason he is here with us today is because he is the main maintainer of the ROS control packages.

00:00 Introduction
04:54 What is ROS Control
07:32 Why we need ROS Control in ROS-robot
10:15 How can I implement ROS Control on my robot
21:02 What are the differences between using ROS Control in a Gazebo simulation and on a real robot?
25:20 The Status of ROS Control in ROS2
31:00 Limitation on Real-time Controllers?
34:43 ROS Control Drawbacks?
36:25 ROS2 Control
39:09 Sensors Configuration in ROS/ROS2 Control
42:39 Why use sensors in ROS Control
51:21 Using ROS Control in a ROS2-based robot

If you interested in learning more ROS at fast pace, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:

* Linux for Robotics
* Python for Robotics
* ROS Basic Concepts
* Understanding TF
* URDF for modeling robots
* ROS Control
* Build your own robot and ROSify it… and become a ROS Developer!

Some other robotics theory courses included are:

* Mobile robots kinematics
* Arm robot kinematics
* Robot dynamics and control
* Kalman Filters for robotics

... and many more! Visit the academy at http://www.theconstructsim.com
