Featured ROSCon 2018 Talks

Hands-on ROS 2: A Walkthrough
Mikael Arguedas (Open Robotics), Karsten Knese (Robert Bosch LLC) Video Slides

In this talk we show the current state of ROS 2 features through hands-on demonstrations. We guide the developer through a set of features and functionalities of ROS 2 beginning with creating a simple “hello world” package and consecutively increasing functionality. We show how to launch multiple nodes, how lifecycle nodes can be used to bootstrap a complete system, through to how the ROS 2 security features can be utilized to secure applications. This talk is meant to highlight the newly available features and tools of ROS 2 and aims to incline developers to start working with it.
