BFL moved to github

Submitted by klaas on Fri, 2017-03-24 07:27

As of yesterday, the BFL source code (and issue tracker) is enjoying its new home at github. Recently, support for the Eigen Matrix librarry has been added.

Expect release 0.9.0 soon (indeed, we seem to have forgotten to post entries about 0.7 and 0.8 releases...)

(Yet another) guide to cross compiling the Orocos Toolchain

Submitted by sspr on Mon, 2013-05-27 22:02

Sagar Behere has written down a nice blog post on a new way of cross compiling the Orocos Toolchain. See his announcement below:

For what it's worth, here is another howto

 

http://techblog.sagar.se/blog/2013/05/16/yet-another-guide-to-cross-compiling-the-orocos-toolchain/

This method is quite painless, because there is no need to cross-compile the various supporting stuff like boost, libxml2, omniorb etc. Instead, we use xapt.

The howto is attached in markdown format, if anyone wants to put it on the orocos wiki.

Just my way of saying thanks for the good help I receive here :)

Orocos at ROSCON 2013, May 11-12

Submitted by peter on Tue, 2013-04-16 08:58 

ROSCon is a developers’ conference, in the model of PyCon and BoostCon. Following the success of the inaugural ROSCon in St. Paul, Minnesota this year’s ROSCon will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, immediately following the ICRA conference.

Sylvain Joyeux will give a talk about 'ROS and Rock: mixing Orocos components and ROS nodes into a model-driven toolchain' on the first day. Orocos users and developers visiting ICRA are invited to stay one or two days longer in order to attend this event and meet with each other.

Announcing the geometric relations semantics software

Submitted by Tinne De Laet on Mon, 2012-06-11 10:03

Dear orocos-user and orocos-developer,

With this email I want to announce the "geometric-relations-semantics"
software (http://www.orocos.org/wiki/geometric-relations-semantics-wiki).

The geometric relations semantics software (C++) implements the
geometric relation semantics theory, hereby offering support for
semantic checks for your rigid body relations calculations. This will
avoid commonly made errors, and hence reduce application and,
especially, system integration development time considerably.

Robotics Tech days at CEA LIST 15-16 March

Submitted by jean.sreng on Thu, 2012-02-23 14:22

The Robotics teams of the CEA LIST (France) are organizing some Tech days for our research partners. Since we are (heavily) using Orocos (mainly RTT, OCL) we thought that the Orocos community might be interested as well.

Orocos iTaSC & rFSM workshop at ERF@Odense

Submitted by peter on Wed, 2012-02-22 21:38

At the European Robotics Forum 2012 KU Leuven and Intermodalics are organizing a three-part seminar, appealing to both industry and research institutes, titled:

  1. Introduction to state charts and reusable, modular task specification through the Orocos eco-system
  2. Hands-on-1: getting started with rFSM state charts in the Orocos eco-system
  3. Hands-on-2: getting started with instantaneous motion specification using constraints (iTaSC): reusable and modular task specification

For all information, you can consult the Workshop page

Orocos users meeting at IROS 2011.

Submitted by fosini on Mon, 2011-10-17 12:57 

Taking advantage that quite a few Orocos users and developers were attending IROS 2011 in San Francisco, USA, an informal meeting was organized to get to know each other and exchange our experiences and use cases.

Among the attendants were people from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, that were showing live demos on robots like the PR2, the Kuka LWR, and the Kuka Youbot; NASA, that is currently using and evaluating Orocos in the context of the Robonaut 2 project; and PAL Robotics, that uses Orocos on their biped and wheeled robots REEM-B and REEM, respectively.

Meeting developers from the mailing list in person is always great as it attaches a face to the email. Moreover, getting the opportunity to learn about the other's challenges and success stories is great for identifying future collaborations and moving the Orocos community forward. We hope to repeat this experience soon, and with more of us!
