Yutaka Kondo on Building ROS2 Robotics and Manipulators

Feb 19, 2022 Mtg – Yutaka Kondo – Building ROS2 Robots

00:42:41 Zach Sy:  That space looks awesome.

00:43:01 Zach Sy:  You could build a massive robot in there.

00:44:53 Colin Leuthold: Sounds good.

00:46:18 Colin Leuthold: June or more likely July?

00:51:30 Donna Smith: Sorry Steve, no Mic today….

00:58:31 Joohee: Colin, Can you type the title in this chat as well 🙂

00:58:59 Greg Schumacher: Please post the link again that Steve mentioned earlier for the late arrivals.

00:59:59 Steve K-main: James Egan should be joining the meeting to talk about this project and look for help. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xItrz1uXSRM_m3ew3SileNdxpz1CXmL9/view?usp=sharing 

01:03:06 Jesse Silrus: I think I saw one of those at Vetco.

01:03:48 Jesse Silrus: or a very similar one.

01:10:17 Jesse Silrus: what is a popcan chalenge?

01:10:53 Colin Leuthold: Thames & Kosmos Mechanical Engineering Robotic Arms

01:11:06 Joohee: Is there any Slack channel for this group ? This is the first time for me to attend an event from Seattle Robotics Society

01:11:37 Robert: Pop Can Challenge, robot picks up can from a refrigerator.

01:12:13 Robert: Don’t have a Slack channel.  Might want to look into it.

01:12:20    Steve K-main: The SRS doesn’t have a Slack channel at this time. I don’t have the bandwidth to manage one. We do have an email (SeattleRobotics@groups.io group) list. Visit https://SeattleRobotics.org/community/ for details about how to join and use it.

01:13:10 Greg Schumacher: Interesting wheeled platform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQqXbXpmkc0 

01:14:28 Robert: Web Page for Pop Can Channel  https://robothon.org/rules-pop-can-challenge/ 

01:14:30 Jordan Wenta: Paperwhite screens are similar to solid state pixels if you will.

01:15:17 Colin Leuthold: You could also advertise on that car.

01:15:24 Jesse Silrus: I think the sweep is to make it more visually interesting, that way they can keep your attention on their product longer.

01:16:08 James Newton: Are we waiting on our speaker or did the speaker bail out?

01:16:22 Robert: No the speaker is here.

01:16:31 James Newton: Coolio!

01:17:56 Jesse Silrus: The panels don’t change in a consistent pattern, more indicative of a design choice than a quirk of the tech

01:20:27 James Newton: The sad thing about assistive tech is that it’s always a financial failure. Corporations will NEVER invest. 

01:21:12 James Newton: These sorts of things MUST be done as Maker type projects.

01:24:23 Jordan Wenta: I agree 100%

01:25:26 Robert: https://robothon.org/rules-pop-can-challenge/ 

01:26:11 Jesse Silrus: I wonder if the caddie has any uses in warehouse work?

01:28:52 James Newton: Totally agree.
