A growing community of open source developers is creating a Robot Operating System (ROS) platform that the broader research community can build on, to make the breakthroughs that will lead to new applications. Willow Garage is building a Personal Robot platform (PR2), which has two arms, a mobile base, and a rich sensor suite. This talk will review the current status of ROS and PR2, and discuss opportunities to join the ROS Open Source community.  Please RSVP here.   Event Link: http://www.engineering.wustl.edu/eventdetail.aspx?event=1084   Mechanical, Aerospace & Structural Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis One Brookings Drive, Box 1185, St. Louis, Missouri 63130 Office Location: 305 Jolley Hall, Phone: (314) 935-6047, Fax: (314) 935-4014   Home |  Academics | Research | Department | Resources © 2009 | Did you find it?
