ROS-I robot driver specification

In this section, we will discuss the specification provided by the ROS-I Consortium for ROS node functionality to improve cross-platform compatibility. All ROS nodes that provide an interface to an industrial robot controller should follow the specification.

We can send the comments and questions on this specification to the ROS-I mailing list ([email protected]).

In the following section, we will look into an overview of the guidelines that are provided by the ROS-I Consortium.

Getting ready

One of the primary goals of ROS-I is facilitating interoperability among robots from different vendors by integrating their control with the common ROS framework. These different ROS control nodes all utilize a common set of interfaces for control and feedback. Also, ROS-I has provided the guidelines for specific ROS interfaces to ensure maximum compatibility.

First of all, we will discuss how the robot should be expected to respond to high-level operational...
