Call for Participation: ROS Deliberation Community Group

Hello all,

After our successful workshop at ROSCon 2024, the ROS Deliberation Community Group is resuming its focus on monthly meetings to engage with the community.

For those who were formerly attending the meetings before we spent time preparing for the workshop, the time is right to start attending again! If you are considering attending for the first time, or have never heard of this Community Group before, we look forward to seeing you as well.

Either way, we’d like to hear from you all about possible topics for subsequent meetings in the new year. Some initial ideas:

  • Putting together a survey document of ROS 2 Deliberation Technologies, very much inspired by the great Nav2 paper.
  • Collaborating on the development of open-source software tools, or examples using those tools, for robot deliberation.
  • Presentations from people interested in sharing their work (though we’d like to also have time for working discussions as well).

If anyone wants to share ideas or ask any questions, feel free to post here, or just show up to the next meeting(s)! You can find more information, including how to sign up in this document.

I would like to see courses, programs, workshops about micro ros and communication using CAN. Also, I been develop a prosthetic robotic arm with 7 DOF and I want to know how use these technologies to communicate 3 raspberry pi pico, 2 ESP32 and a raspberry pi 5. I got other questions but these are some principals. Thank you for the opportunity.

Those are all great applications for ROS, but there may be other community groups that more closely address the embedded systems / manipulation space.

You can learn more about what falls under the umbrella of deliberation here, and if this is something of interest, you’re welcome to join!
