New Tools for Robotics: RQT Frame Editor and the pitasc Framework — ROS-Industrial

Two new robotics tools have been introduced: RQT Frame Editor, a ROS plugin for visual TF-frame management that eliminates manual configuration file editing, and pitasc, a skill-based framework for force-controlled assembly tasks. The RQT Frame Editor offers interactive frame manipulation, mesh visualization, and ROS service integration. The pitasc framework uses reusable skill blocks for complex assembly operations and has been deployed in industrial applications including plastic component assembly, riveting, and dual-arm coordination tasks.
