  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ros2_control_demos

    This repository aims at providing examples to illustrate ros2_control and ros2_controllers

  • Exposing controller nodes explicitly involves a number of steps. Loosely following the official documentation, ros control demo repository and my own experience, these are:

  • gazebo_ros2_control

    Wrappers, tools and additional API's for using ros2_control with Gazebo Classic

  • Order is important - Gazebo, controller, robot description need to interact in a precise order. Getting this right was quite difficult. Therefore, I used the ros2 demo repository for a comparison. This project provides a Docker container that includes a complete Ubuntu runtime with ROS2 foxy, all required plugins, and the robot’s description and Gazebo simulation configuration. When this container is started, I see the following log message.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
