mir_robot
ROS driver and configuration for MiR autonomous mobile robots, enabling simulation and control via the Robot Operating System.
What is mir_robot?
mir_robot is a ROS (Robot Operating System) meta-package that provides a driver, simulation models, and navigation configurations for MiR (Mobile Industrial Robots) autonomous mobile robots. It enables researchers and developers to control, simulate, and integrate MiR robots using the standard ROS ecosystem, facilitating tasks like autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and multi-robot coordination. The project solves the problem of proprietary robot platforms lacking open-source, ROS-native interfaces.
Robotics researchers, integrators, and developers working with MiR robots who want to use ROS for advanced automation, simulation, or research projects. It is also suitable for educational institutions teaching autonomous mobile robotics with industrial-grade hardware.
Developers choose mir_robot because it is the primary open-source community project for ROS support on MiR robots, offering a complete suite of tested packages for both real robot operation and high-fidelity Gazebo simulation. It provides pre-configured navigation stacks and URDF models, significantly reducing integration time compared to building custom ROS drivers from scratch.
