Elaine Marieb Center for Nursing and Engineering Innovation’s Post

Elizabeth Jo is a UMass Institute for Applied Life Sciences Core Summer Intern in the Elaine Marieb Center for Nursing and Engineering Innovation. She is a Computer Engineering Major in the College of Engineering, UMass Amherst leading the way by training a robot how to perform a requested task.     Want to have a robot move and pick up objects?  ✔ Learn the Robot Operating System (ROS).  ✔ Create publisher nodes in Python – this sends movement information from the keyboard (publisher).   ✔ Create subscriber nodes in Python – this receives information to move the robot’s wheels (subscriber).  ✔ Then see how it controls the robot Stretch to move and pick up objects.     What’s the goal? Why are you doing this?  🔷 Instruct Stretch the robot to pick up objects at Baystate Health and support nurses in healthcare. Leverage technology to help with tasks that require accuracy but perhaps not a human hand.     Context Notes 📝: 🖊 Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.  🖊 Stretch is the flagship product of Hello Robot Inc.      #UMass #EMCNEI #NurseEngineer #Robot #CSIumass #Intern University of Massachusetts Amherst
