PR2
The PR2 is a mobile manipulation platform built by Willow Garage. The PR2 software system is written entirely in ROS. As such, all PR2 capabilities are available via ROS interfaces. Personal robot applications enable people to make themselves more productive at home and at work. PR2 combines the mobility to navigate human environments and the dexterity to grasp and manipulate objects in those environments.
PR2 allows you to concentrate on your specific field, while taking advantage of the work of specialists in other areas. The PR2 hardware platform and 1000+ software libraries enable you, as a member of the community, to focus on new capabilities. The common platform also lets you easily share your research results in a way that is reproducible.
