ROS2 Native Robot Controller for Manufacturing

In 2017, the global market for stand-alone industrial robots reached 2.1 million units, with a value of 8-16 billion USD for installation, service, and programming. This project aims to develop a modular robotic solution for controlling robots in the manufacturing industry, utilizing the open-source Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) framework. The goal is to create a compact, high-performance system that enables direct communication between robot actuators and the ROS2 framework, to improve automation in the manufacturing industry. This will include the development of real-time controllers that can communicate directly with motor drivers, allowing for flexible configurations and applications to custom hybrid robotic systems, such as autonomous ground vehicles with robotic arms.
