ROS News for the Week of February 20th, 2023
Meet Bob ROS, a robotic artist at Northeastern

You may remember Kiwibot from previous ROSCons. They just picked up $10M to scale their deployments – More
By far, the most engagement we had this week was on the spelling of the second version of Robot Operating System. According to the official style guide, it is spelled “ROS 2.” We’re pretty consistent in the documentation with using “ROS 2”. We would really appreciate it if the community consistently used “ROS 2” when writing about ROS 2.
