Rosinstall 0.6 Series Released
Announcement from Tully Foote (rosinstall maintainer) to ros-users
Hi Everyone,
Thanks to the work of Thibault Kruse we have released an upgraded version of rosinstall we have bumped it up to the 0.6 series to indicate the significant overhaul. The basic command line usage has not changed.
The following changes have been incorporated:
-prevention duplicate sourcing and path appending actions in combination with fuerte
-No recursion into rosinstall files other than those provided with the Command line interface (was defunct anyway)
-Giving a .rosinstall as a CLI argument is equivalent to giving its folder
elements in rosinstall files are checked to be valid folders (files for setup-file)
-Duplicate path detection improved
-It is now illegal to have any two SCM entries with overlapping paths
-rosinstall will now change relative path "uri"s in rosinstall file SCM elements to absolute paths uris
-Python code is now split up into modular design, allowing proper unit testing and using rosinstall code as library
-Many more Unit-tests, more code documentation
-usage of the yaml structure within the code was wrapped in a Wrapper class
-setup.sh now parses .rosinstall to generate ROSPACKAGEPATH
-parallel install, update, diff and stat

Schmalz Technology Development - Vacuum Generation without Compressed Air - Flexible and Intelligent
• Vacuum generation that's 100% electrical;
• Integrated intelligence for energy and process control;
• Extensive communication options through IO-Link interface;
Schmalz already offers a large range of solutions that can optimize handling process from single components such as vacuum generators to complete gripping systems. Particularly when used in autonomous warehouse, conventional vacuum generation with compressed air reaches its limits. Compressed air often is unavailable in warehouses. Schmalz therefore is introducing a new technology development: a gripper with vacuum generation that does not use compressed air. The vacuum is generated 100% electrically. This makes the gripper both energy efficient and mobile. At the same time, warehouses need systems with integrated intelligence to deliver information and learn. This enables the use of mobile and self-sufficient robots, which pick production order at various locations in the warehouse. Furthermore, Schmalz provides various modular connection options from its wide range of end effectors in order to handle different products reliably and safely.
