Project Description:

The goal of this project is to become familiarised with the ABB IRB120 robot in order to use it in later projects.

The Kinematics movements are implemented in a MATLAB node. This node communicates with the ABB IRB120 robot using the Robot Operating System or ROS.

The scenario of the simulation is that a pile of rubble is falling down, and the robot is trying to repel them and keep its space clear by repeatedly pushing the blocks away.

The above video is in real-time and has not sped up.
