== Proposals ==
== What's been done ==


Some of us are working on getting the arm working for the [[Project:HSRDP|HSRDP]] project. The plan is to integrate it with [http://www.ros.org ROS] package and an make a URDF model for the arm. This will allow it for general robotic use, i.e. someone can create the ROS nodes for a robotic barman, simulate it and then send it to the bot to perform

Might have to replace the control board electronics with a ... wait for it... a Raspbery Pi (well and an Arduino ofcourse)! :D But if someone wants to restore the stock electronics I will avoid hacking the old control board up in-case you want to have a go!
