This repository is part of the ROS-Industrial program.
This project has been developed by the Institut Maupertuis, a French research institute that is working on robotic industrial processes. This project goal is to create an automatic grinding path generator for 6-axis robots working on diverse/random meshes.
Bezier planner generates robot poses (3D trajectories) in harmony with a grinding process, it is as 6D tool path planner. It is able to create rectilinear trajectories on complex surfaces (3D surfaces) and to dilate them in all directions in order to grind defects with a pass principle.
This package has been tested with Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS Melodic.
VTK 7.1 or higher is required in order to compile this project.
