A new mobile manipulator has been created.Special thanks to Mr.Rajan,Mr.Manish and Mr.Sainul.Without you guys it wont be possible.As you can see in the images the robot is a combination of my previous small projetcs.The stereoscopic eyes project and the small dynamixel arm project.We are planning to make it fully ROS compatible.The Dynmixel is arm is not so powerful to pick up heavy objects .But it can pick up small glasses,empty bottles etc.That would be enough for my tabletop operations. The eyes of the robot is a combination of two Logitech cameras fixed with a baseline of 12cm.The cameras provide quiet quality depth images of the environment.You will be wondering how would I create a depth image from two cameras? As we are trying to implement the whole robotic system in ROS,the Robotic Operating System has got the solution. If you don;t know how to install and begin coding with ROS,write to me ,I will be writing that in another post.
