Panda Arm Simulator

During my internship at Telekinesis AI, I developed a custom, flexible simulator for the Franka Emika Panda robot using the 3D dynamics simulator Gazebo and its C++ plugins. The project involved learning the Gazebo software and the basics of URDF files, which describe a robot’s model. I then wrote the C++ code to simulate the Panda robot in Gazebo, using the appropriate plugins to enable communication between client-side (user) and server-side (robot) operations.
