Project Description

This Project is to further develop a workflow and communication protocol for interfacing robots with image-guided therapy systems using OpenIGTLink.

More details coming soon...

Objective

  • Implement OpenIGTLink messages in JAVA version of OpenIGTLink. Some of the supported standard messages are Status, String and Transform. During this week we would like to add support for other message types like NDArray, Sensor and any other useful messages for controlling the robot using IGTLink. Also, would like to collaborate with team working on MATLAB interface for IGTLink and test it with JAVA implementation.

Approach, Plan

  • Taking BRP Robot Application as base and extending it for any other robot applications. Testing it for MATLAB and standard C++ implementation.

Progress

  • NDArray is being implemented but not yet tested.
