As I'm continuing to build my su_chef robotic food prep project, I've realized it will be more efficient to design and prototype using robotics simulations. So last weekend, I took a deep dive into integrating motion planning via ROS MoveIt with the Gazebo physics simulator using a virtual model of my Arduino Braccio arm. Using these tools, I'm able to simulate my robot interacting with objects to quickly test how it will work without needing to have my physical setup running.
