[PILZ GmbH & Co. KG]

**We are excited to annouce the ROS kinetic support for our Pilz Robot (PRBT).**

https://github.com/PilzDE/pilz_robots/raw/kinetic-devel/prbt_support/img/prbt.jpg 

This year in june at Automatica 2018 we presented our 6-DOF manipulator to the public. It's our pleasure to provide you our first ROS packages with the latest kinetic release.

For now these packages consist of:


* [pilz_robots](https://wiki.ros.org/pilz_robots) - The metapackage
* [prbt_support](https://wiki.ros.org/prbt_support) - The mechanical, kinematic and visual description of the Pilz light weight arm PRBT.
* [prbt_ikfast_manipulator_plugin](https://wiki.ros.org/prbt_ikfast_manipulator_plugin) - The plugin for the inverse kinematics solver
* [prbt_moveit_config](https://wiki.ros.org/prbt_moveit_config) - Providing moveit support the the PRBT manipulator

Support for melodic and more coming soon!
