ROS COMMUNITY

A project log for IMcoders

IMU-based encoders. IMcoders provides odometry data to robots with a minimal integration effort, easing prototyping on almost any system.

ROS Discourse

Days are going through and the project is moving forward. 

Even after the success of our initial tests, it was clear that more development was needed to be done in the algorithmic part. To get some help, there is no better way than asking for it directly to the experts in the robotic field, so we made a post in ROS Discourse.

ROS Discourse is a platform were the ROS developers/robot makers discuss about the new trends in the robotic world as well as people expose their projects and ideas to get feedback and help from the community. And that is exactly what we needed :)

We received several ideas how to test our system. We would like to thank again all the people who contributed to the post with great ideas and constructive feedback!

ROSCon2018

After such a positive experience in ROS Discourse we decided to go bigger and move forward. Knowing this year the annual ROS conference (ROSCon) was in Madrid, it was the perfect opportunity not only to learn more about robotics and meet the community in person but also to pitch our project. 

With our goals clear we decided to flight there and show our project! And here are the results :)

If you are interested in the slides of the presentation you can download them from here:
