Hi, thanks for organizing this Moveit workshop!! I have signed for this workshop a week ago but as till now, i havnt received any confirmation email. I would like to check with the organizer if the workshop is 100% confirmed? Will there be more details on this? It will be helpful to us as attendants which will need to accomodate our travel plan to this. Thanks!!

Hi all,

I’m happy to announce we have posted the videos/slides from the MoveIt Macau Workshop. See videos here and slides here.

I do have some coinciding unfortunate news. Our local vendor of videography/audio at the event notified us that “one of our memory cards was corrupted during the shooting” and that some of the morning sessions was unrecoverable.

Here are the sessions affected:

  1. Build Advance Industrial Robot Usages with Intel Open Vino and Movelt
    Yu Yan- Intel
  2. The Industrial Trajectory Generation and Python API of pilz_industrial_motion ​
    Christian Henkel - Pilz
  3. ROS-Industrial Manipulation Efforts, Thilo Zimmermann (Fraunhofer IPA), Levi Armstrong (SWRI), Michael Ripperger (SWRI)

Again we apologize for this and hope that the slides will be shed some light on the topics discussed.

Hi Rob,
thanks for sharing. It is bad to hear what happened to our 3 videos.
For anyone who is interested in my talk, my colleague Joachim gave a similar talk in Stuttgart which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDWhxlpXT4U&index=6&list=PLXUpEXjGC63xRrb7IGPRnKPhKc-IkjFEC. And my slides are also available here: https://picknik.ai/docs/moveit_workshop_macau_2019/pilz_industrial_motion.pdf
