Interfacing seven DOF Dynamixel based robotic arm to ROS MoveIt!
In this section, we will discuss a 7 DOF robot manipulator called COOL arm-5000, which is manufactured by a company called ASIMOV Robotics (http://asimovrobotics.com/). The robot is built using Dynamixel servos (http://www.robotis.com/xe/dynamixel_en). We will see how to interface a Dynamixel-based robotic arm to ROS using dynamixel_controllers.
The following is a diagram of a COOL arm-5000:
