iNexBot Secondary Development Now Supports the ROS Ecosystem!
The iNexBot ROS package supports MoveIt trajectory planning, the RViz visualization tool, and the Gazebo simulation platform. It fully implements the MoveIt standard protocol Simple Message, integrating seamlessly into the ROS ecosystem.
With RViz, you can plan trajectories via MoveIt using a virtual robot — without a physical robot — and view simulated motion in real time. Alternatively, you can connect the NRC collaborative robot controller to both RViz and the physical robot at the same time, using RViz to operate the robot remotely, view its real-time trajectory in the software, and upload data such as trajectory points, motor torque, and current to the cloud in real time for cloud-based digital twin applications.
With Gazebo, you can model an entire production line, combine it with RViz for vision and sensor simulation, and use MoveIt for trajectory and I/O planning. Once the simulation confirms that the target can be achieved, MoveIt can be connected to the NRC controller to download the motion data — no manual teaching required.
