Becoming a Roboticist Day 4: #ROS2 Path Planning with Nav2 Using yesterdays explored map, I was able to use Nav2 and Rviz to move the krytn bot to any desired goal on the map. I set a 2D goal pose and used the global path (shown in green) for overall navigation alongside a local cost map/path to avoid nearby obstacles. Nav2 is surely a sophisticated yet powerful tool!

As the UAV industry looks towards the future, one of the most pressing challenges is increasing flight time and payload. At XPonential 2024, I had the opportunity to discuss this issue with many experts in the field. One common thread that emerged was the need for strong, lightweight, engineering grade materials. It was clear that finding solutions to this challenge is crucial for the industry's growth. I am excited to continue the dialogue and work towards providing innovative solutions to this issue. #PTITech #XPO24 #innovation #engineeringmaterials #injectionmolding #additivemanufacturing https://lnkd.in/g5kjJvCy

🚀 Migrating from ROS 2 Humble to Jazzy: Tips & Insights Planning to upgrade your ROS 2 project from Humble to Jazzy? Here's why it’s worth the effort: 1️⃣ Improvement of the CLI 2️⃣ Better Gazebo sim integration 3️⃣ ROS2 Bags improvement by adding service recording! 4️⃣ Rviz2 new visualization capabilities 5️⃣ Access to last features from popular frameworks like Nav2 I have already done the migration from Humble and it was quite straight forward for my applications. The only drawback at the moment is that some projects haven't yet been migrated or compiled for Jazzy, so you'll have to compile the sources yourself (if you haven't already). Have you started your migration? Share your experience and tips below! #ROS2 #Robotics #OpenSource

Tracking progress! I successfully implemented object detection in video format using YOLOv8, detecting various vehicles on a highway under the guidance of Aimers Society. This project showcased my skills in applying AI-powered detection to real-world scenarios, advancing my expertise in computer vision. #AimersSociety #YOLOv8 #ObjectDetection #VehicleDetection #ComputerVision #AIInAction

I have created a URDF file for a collaborative robot (cobot) arm and successfully simulated it in RViz using ROS2. This simulation allows us to control all the joints and understand the robot's behavior before deploying it in a real-world environment. By using a joystick for control, we can perform a wide range of advanced tasks based on our preferences.#ROS2 #ROBOTICARM #technology

🚀 I'm thrilled to share a project I've been working on! 🚀 I've developed an object detection tool using #YOLOv10, specifically designed to identify vehicles in various weather conditions. 🌧️🌞 This tool leverages cutting-edge technology from the Ultralytics team to deliver accurate, real-time video analysis. Key Features: - Reliable detection in diverse weather - Real-time processing - Easy integration Yours, Gautam Manchandani #ObjectDetection #YOLOv8 #DeepLearning #ComputerVision
