A REVIEW OF ROBOTICS AND HAND TOOLBOX: A JOURNEY ON THE OPEN-SOURCE ROBOTICS WORLD WITH SIX TOOLS
Abstract
In robotics development processes start from high level abstraction to demonstrating the particular case or simply prove an algorithm compared to another algorithm works better most of the time researchers might be seeking a straightforward way. It does work if you already set up your own ready research environment but it is not an easy way if you don't have a proper lab environment. In this paper authors motivated by those research environment problems, beginning to discover from authors own perspective attempt to classify the robotics tools with following criteria: by open source, by frequently improving updated versions activity, by whether or not widely supported by researchers and industry or worldwide user groups etc. Finally, author come out with a pace of recommendation for new robotics research with authors research experience to the six open source robotics tools. During the past two years author used the six tools, some of them used not much, some used more. Whatever now is the time to tell people which one has what features compared to each other. In addition, because of the author's own research interest mainly from robotic hand grasping, naturally two related toolboxes (GraspIT! and Syngrasp) are also covered with the same criteria. Author hopes the viewpoint of “the journey” will help others save a pace of time for robotics research.
