How to animate a robot like a character in a 3D animation movie?
Hi.
I would like to handle animation sequences for a robot. Is there a way to manage this using a ROS package?
Here are the features that I would expect from such a package:
- manage a sequence "data container" for sequences manipulation
- read this container to activate the robot joints
- view/edit this container
- generate containers from recordings
- generate containers with tools similar to a 3D graphics animation software (like Blender or Maya), using keyframes or IK
I have found this one, which looks in line with my requirement, but unfortunately for the PR2 only: http://wiki.ros.org/puppet
Bags could be also a part of the solution (data container management): http://wiki.ros.org/rosbag
Any feedback appreciated, could it be a similar requirement, documentations, contact, etc.
