[ros-users] Announcing kth-ros-pkg

Hi,

The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Sweden) is proud to announce the
release of kth-ros-pkg <http://wiki.ros.org/kth-ros-pkg>. Some of our
packages include:

  * *biotac_driver <http://wiki.ros.org/biotac_driver>:* catkinization
    of UPenn's Haptics group's low level drivers for the Biotac sensor
    <http://wiki.ros.org/BioTac>.

  * *force_torque_tools <http://wiki.ros.org/force_torque_tools>:*
    force-torque sensor calibration and gravity compensation.

  * *kdl_acc_solver <http://wiki.ros.org/kdl_acc_solver>:* KDL solver
    for calculating cartesian accelerations from joint positions,
    velocities and accelerations.

  * *kdl_wrapper <http://wiki.ros.org/kdl_wrapper>:* C++ wrapper for
    easily getting KDL kinematic chains and using KDL kinematic solvers
    with robots defined in ROS through URDF in the parameter server.

Future packages will include :

  * door_opening_control <http://wiki.ros.org/door_opening_control>:
    adaptive controllers for simultaneous control and estimation of
    kinematic parameters of sliding and revolute doors.

<https://wiki.ros.org/door_opening_control>As well as adaptive
control/kinematics estimation for tool calibration, joint human-robot
manipulation of objects, etc.
