- MARIO workshop aims to provide the basic knowledge about the DH parameters, forward kinematics , inverse kinematics.
- DH Parameters :- Denavit–Hartenberg parameters (also called DH parameters) are the four parameters associated with a particular convention for attaching reference frames to the links of a spatial kinematic chain, or robot manipulator
- Forward Kinematics :- Forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation.
- Inverse Kinematics :- inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain.
ROS2 is the ultimate toolkit for robotics enthusiasts and professionals alike. Seamlessly integrating hardware and software, ROS2 streamlines development workflows, accelerates prototyping, and enables rapid iteration. With its modular architecture and extensive library of reusable components, ROS2 simplifies the creation of complex robotics projects, from autonomous drones to collaborative robot arms.
Publish/Subscribe is a messaging pattern that aims to decouple the sending (Publisher) and receiving (Subscriber) party. A real world example could be a sport mobile app that shows you up-to-date information of a particular football game you're interested in. In this case you are the subscriber, as you express interest in this specific game. On the other side sits the publisher, which is an online reporter that feeds a system with the actual match data. This system, which is often referred as the message broker brings the two parties together by sending the new data to all interested subscribers.
While ROS2 works on the same system, this system is also used in various other libraries like MQTT.
micro-ROS is a robotic framework targeting embedded and deep-embedded robot components with extremely constrained computational resources. These devices have special characteristics: a minimum real-time operating system or no operating system, battery-powered, wireless low bandwidth connections, and intermittent operation with sleep periods.
ESP-IDF is the development framework for Espressif SoCs.The SRA Board uses ESP32 as microcontroller, hence ESPIDF is required to code the ESP32. Examples included inside firmware directory has been written in ESPIDF version 5.1 .
