Articubot Project Work Plan
Overview
In Fall 2024, students in the CS 890 ROS class did an excellent job on building the articubot.
Now we need to work through their artifacts and come up with cleaned up instructions, artifacts, etc. to form both instructions and model solution for future classes.
The outcomes of the Fall 2024 project are here: https://github.com/santoslab/890-ros-f24-project-articubot
