Abstract

Abstract: The control of industrial robots through the platform ROS represents the new trend in the field of industrial and service robots development. This article is aimed at the current problems related to a control of robotic end effectors and other robotic subsystems within the software platform ROS. The main attention is devoted to the utilization of I/O boards as are Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc., for control the additional robotic accessories. These I/O boards offer a relative simple solution for creation a communication connection between the system ROS and robotic end effector. The article also presents the next steps of this problem solving that involve a proposal of the pneumatic robotic gripper MHZ2-25D control within the software platform ROS in laboratory conditions of the Department of Automation and Production Systems.
