Josef Gstoettner

Hi, my name is Josef. I am a Robotic Software Engineer. In my spare time I have built two tiny robots based on ROS. One day they might be able to do something useful, hopefully 😁

A few technologies I've been using recently:

  • ROS/ROS 2
  • C++/Python
  • Fusion360/Blender
  • Arduino

Lingao Robot ROS2

A wannabe beach cleaning Robot. The goal is to use the coverage planner to drive up a specified area and filter big particles out of the sand, like a vacuum cleaning robot but cleaning the beach.

Deliverybot

A common delivery Robot to deliver chinese medicine to customers. This is a Project developed in the Company I work for so I don't want to talk too much about it but still wanted to briefly mention it.
It all started with ROS (1) and the target was to have multiple robots moving at the same space by avoiding each other safely. Everything was running trough one ROS master and by sharing a common custom obstacle layer they could plan routs avoiding collision without even seeing the other robot. Though this setup has some limitations and the development moved to ROS 2 and general performance improved.
