ROS OpenWalker

Project overview

The OpenWalker project aims to develop an open-source walking controller for humanoid robots using ROS. By integrating with ros_control and maintaining modularity, the controller can be applied to various humanoid platforms. The project seeks to create a standardized walking controller, facilitating rapid prototyping and real-time control for humanoid systems.

Our Role

PAL Robotics will collaborate on developing OpenWalker, a standardized walking controller for humanoid robots. We will help ensure the controller’s adaptability to different humanoid platforms by implementing and testing the tool on our robots. This collaboration aims to deliver a well-documented, real-time, and efficient control framework for humanoid robots.

Key responsibilities

  • Create adaptable modules and templates for humanoid platforms that facilitate easy integration with ros_control.
  • Contribute to building real-time capable control systems for walking and balancing controllers, primarily using C++ for efficiency.
  • Ensure the framework is well-documented and user-friendly, making the deployment and customization of walking controllers accessible to the robotics community.
