Franka Pick-and-Place

ROS 2 and MoveIt 2 workflow for a Franka robotic arm, covering Docker-based setup, simulation, and real-robot deployment.

This project was developed in collaboration with Dr. Azimi’s lab at the University of Arizona as a simple Franka robotic-arm demo workflow using ROS 2, MoveIt 2, RViz, and a Docker-based development environment.

This work was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Ehsan Azimi.

The project includes pick-and-place simulation as well as a basic real-robot workflow for Franka-based experiments.

Additional Franka demos: pick-cup execution and sim-to-real workflow.

Highlights:

  • ROS 2 and MoveIt 2 workflow for simulation and real robot
  • Docker-based robotics environment for reproducibility
  • Planning-scene integration and object attachment logic
  • Designed for extension toward perception-guided manipulation
