Recently I’ve started integrating Ouster OS1-16 on a client’s platform and he was nice enough to allow me to run some tests with this LiDAR sensor. This post describes my first impression with this unit and provides some pointers that can be useful for anyone looking into using Ouster sensors with Robot Operating System.

I believe that in everyone’s life there comes a time where they need to do what they’ve always feared: they need to compile a Unix Kernel. This post is a step by step guide how I enabled the PPS support on Jetson Nano.

Together with Robosynthesis we’ve been working on developing and integrating a 360 camera module for our ROS based industrial inspection robots. I was so pleased with the results that I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to share what we’ve been up to.

As you might have seen from two of my previous posts (1, 2) I have been doing some testing with ublox F9P based ArduSimple RTK setup. In this blog post I’m describing how I integrated these modules with Robot Operating System (ROS).

In my previous post I was sharing my first impressions from using ArduSimple RTK GPS. It’s time to share some information about the small but steady progress I had made since!

ArduSimple provided me with their RTK2B+heading module recently. In this blog post I’m describing my experience running the first tests with these modules and my planned further tests. My end goal is to integrate the modules with ROS and get a precise positioning in 2D with extra heading information.

If I knew how to draw I would create a header for this blog post that would show a lama getting vaccinated. Since you won’t be seeing it any time soon, let’s jump into iris_LaMa, a localization and mapping library that works with ROS.
