Dear ROS users, I am pleased to announce the first release of humanoid_walk. This release provides C++[1] and ROS[2] interfaces to allow humanoid robot walking trajectories generation. Humanoid walking algorithms often take a set of footprints as input and provide feet and center of mass trajectories as output. These reference trajectories are then forwarded to the real-time controller. This stack provides generic interfaces in order to wrap walking generation algorithm into ROS. It also provides an easy to use trajectory generator which can be used to generate motion. The stack is available here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/humanoid_walk ...and is hosted on GitHub: http://www.github.com/laas/humanoid_walk Bug reports, comments and patches are welcomed!
