The manufacturing of freeform optics provides a novel application for MoveIt and ROS in industry. This presentation covers how Optimax integrated ROS with their manufacturing processes, including their unique challenges in driver development and trajectory processing. PickNik and Optimax have collaborated to release a new ROS 2_control driver for ABB robot arms. We will share our experiences developing the driver. We will also present Optimax’s trajectory processing challenges and the use of Ruckig and ROS 2_control for jerk smoothing and waypoint streaming.
