BREAKING NEWS: Marketer has minor meltdown while trying to understand robot motion planning. See the story at 11. In other, actually useful news: PushCorp robotic tooling is now integrated into PickNik Robotics' MoveIt Pro! This means smarter, automated surface finishing is easier than ever.

Sebastian Jahr presented at ROSCon in Odense last Fall together with Aditya Kamireddypalli. In case you missed it, discover how we’re supercharging MoveIt 2 with Drake’s powerful optimization-based motion planning—unlocking better kinematics calculations, trajectory optimization, and the future of ROS 2 motion planning.

MoveIt Pro seamlessly now integrates Nav2! This enables whole-body-based mobile manipulation workflows that combine arm motion planning with long range navigation for modular, scalable, and adaptive robotic solutions. It is now easier for robots to move and manipulate objects across large environments.

Robotic software development is complex, and while building it yourself with only open-source solutions seem appealing, the hidden costs of customization, integration, and maintenance can delay timelines and increase risks. MoveIt Pro?streamlines this process—reducing R&D from years to months—so your team can focus on high-value innovation. Full blog post: https://lnkd.in/gfbQuMaS #MoveItPro #Robotics #AI

We've launched a new product, based on market demand, to address the needs of companies with safety critical applications: PickNik Certifiable Robot Arm Control Modules https://lnkd.in/daKjTmcM

UFACTORY has been recognized as part of the PickNik Robotics ecosystem for our compatibility with Robot Operating System (ROS 2), joining an impressive lineup of robotic platforms supported by MoveIt. MoveIt is one of the most widely used motion planning frameworks for robotic arms, making it easier for developers and researchers to implement advanced planning, kinematics, and collision avoidance. With UFACTORY’s robots now listed, it’s even easier for users to integrate our hardware with MoveIt for seamless motion control.
