The MoveIt team at PickNik Robotics is excited to announce that MoveIt 2 is available with ROS Humble! MoveIt continues to be the #1 ROS application for manipulation and motion planning in complex environments.
Example of supervised autonomy door opening with MoveIt 2, MoveIt Studio, and the UR driver for ROS 2.
PickNik and Fraunhofer IPA have applied MoveIt 2 to advanced robotic welding techniques. Full video here
We’ve put a lot of effort into revamping the tutorials with an improved learning-oriented content structure! Get started by building from source or using our Rolling binary release. Humble binary release coming soon!
Highlights
- Hybrid Planning: use a (slower) global motion planner with a (faster) local motion planner to enable a robot to solve different tasks online and in dynamic environments
- TOTG: now default parameterization method
- Ruckig: improved time parameterization and jerk smoothing that allows for nonzero initial/final conditions
- MoveIt Setup Assistant: the entry point for using MoveIt, now for ROS 2
- MoveIt Config Utilities: simplify loading parameters
- Lots of new ROS 2 drivers for arms (Universal Robotics and more announced soon)
