Hello everyone; I am sharing the slides from our meeting on May 24th. During the open forum, we gathered feedback from all participants. We discussed the necessity of Aerial Robotics ROS tutorials and the importance of standardizing certain aspects of the workflow, particularly the tooling and API’s. We also talked about the need for dependable hardware developer kits. The feedback we received from researchers, developers, manufacturers, and project maintainers was incredibly valuable.

For the meeting of 7th of June, is there anybody that would like to present their ongoing or past project related to aerial robotics and ROS? It can be 20-30 minutes tops.

For instance: @RFRIEDM you’d like to present about the Puma and AeroVironment?
