ICRA and ROSCON 2013 Trip Report

Our trip to ICRA and ROSCON 2013 was a grand success. The highlights:

  • MoveIt! is released: We released MoveIt! from ICRA 2013. Read all about it on the Willow Garage Blog and ros.org
  • The tutorial on Motion Planning for Mobile Manipulation: State-of-the-art Methods and Tools was a huge success. The talks were fantastic and a live demo with the PR2 showed the audience how they could start using MoveIt!
  • The booth demo with MoveIt! attracted a lot of audience interest as well. Thank you for coming to ICRA 2013 and visiting the Willow Garage booth.
  • The ROSCON Keynote talk was the first talk at ROSCON (after the introductory talks) and created a huge buzz around MoveIt!
  • We integrated MoveIt! with the Baxter Research Robot from Rethink Robotics at ROSCON 2013 (this was an initial proof of concept integration). Read about it on the Willow Garage Blog.

Videos

The initial (alpha) release of MoveIt! was done from ICRA 2013. Have a look at these videos to see how MoveIt! works.
