ROS News for the Week of April 15th, 2024
The ROS 2 Jazzy Jalsico Test and Tutorial Party is scheduled for 2024-05-01. Come help us test Jazzy and potentially get yourself some ROS swag.
I am planning a ROS Meetup at Automate Chicago on 2024-05-01. If you are going to be at Automate, or live in the Chicagoland area, we would love to see you there! (FYI: walking the floor at Automate is free! If you are in the area I would encourage you to drop by).
We now have a rudimentary ROS 2 Driver for Unitree quadrupeds. I believe this is available as a binary package in Humble now.
@DLu added a guide to the docs.ros.org on how to build a custom RViz display. I took a moment to add more pointers to the API and package documentation. If you have a minute please consider sending us a documentation pull request. The ROS documentation isnβt going to write itself!
