The ROS-based web information center of small manipulator

A ROS-based web information center with respect to small manipulator is developed to show the feasibility of the one for factories.Small ROS-based 6-axis manipulators for teaching and research are utilized to simulate the applications of robot arms in the factories.The task of robot arm is designed to recognize the object color and then to grip the object to the desired storage area.Production operation data and status information from the robot arm are transmitted through the ROS rosbridge_suite to the web interface for display and saved in a database.A start-stop function is also implemented to remotely start and stop the operation of robot arm.
