ROS Robotic Arm Simulation

Inspiration

we design a simple robot arm with four revolute joints and one prismatic joint. A Universal Robot Description Format (URDF) file with the robot’s kinematic, visual, and collision model representation is needed for the robot’s interaction with ROS.

What it does

It is a simulation of a 5 DOF robotic arm in ROS and Rviz

How we built it

roslaunch robot_arm_simulator simulate.launch rosrun robot_arm_simulator joint_state_publisher_node.py

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The ROS package provided here is easily used for simulation of a virtual robot.

What's next for ROS Robotic Arm Simulation

The package can be tried with different more meaningful target positions for the robot joints, different interpolations, different operational frequency, and different kinematics features.
