Universal Robots ROS Driver
The FZI develops ROS driver for Universal Robots
UR ROS Driver
ROS driver development for Universal Robots
Start: 12.2021
End: 11.2024
In close cooperation with Universal Robots (UR), the FZI has been developing the ROS driver for the UR robot arms since 2018, thus contributing to the reliable and robust usability of the robots. Together with other partners, the driver was also ported to ROS 2.
The cooperation has brought many content innovations to the ROS world.
Examples include:
- Cartesian trajectory execution,
- speed changes of trajectories at runtime and
- trajectory execution directly on the robot controller.
The FZI is also responsible for the maintenance of the C++ library for the UR robots, the ROS & ROS 2 drivers, the Gazebo Classic and Gazebo Sim Simulation packages as well as the available tutorials. Through direct support from the manufacturer, the FZI can not only develop high-quality software and make it available to the community, but also develop innovative, application-oriented features.
