Скачать или смотреть Seamless Control of an ABB IRB-120 Robot using a ROS 2-Python HMI (Real Robot)

In this video, we introduce a novel Human-Machine Interface (HMI) developed using Python and PyQt5 for the intuitive control and management of robot cells powered by ROS 2. Built on the powerful capabilities of the ros2_SimRealRobotControl framework (https://github.com/IFRA-Cranfield/ros..., this HMI is designed to unify the simulation and real-world operation of ROS 2-enabled robotic arms—all from a single, user-friendly interface on Ubuntu.

With this HMI, you can:
Launch a Gazebo simulation environment for any ROS 2-enabled robot arm.
Extend the simulation with MoveIt!2 for full motion planning and control.
Monitor joint states and end-effector positions in real-time.
Manage robot movements, programs, object spawning, and environment interaction within Gazebo.
Launch ROS 2 drivers and MoveIt!2 to control real robots identically to their simulated counterparts.

This tool simplifies robotics research, testing, and deployment by eliminating terminal overhead and centralizing robot control in a clean, visual dashboard.
