ROS News for the Week of February 19th, 2024
Open Robotics will be participating in Google Summer of Code 2024. We’re looking for a few interns to help us out! See the post for all the details.
Our next Gazebo Community meeting is next Wednesday, February 28th. Sikiru Salau, a competitor in the Pan-African Robotics Competition, will be joining us to talk about simulating robots for agriculture.
Hello Robot is having a great month! Last week they released their third gen robot. This week they are at the top of the orange website with this “OK Robot” paper from NYU
Check out the AutoNav robot by Jatin Patil. Hats off to the developer, this is a really well put together personal project!
Just a reminder: Gazebo Classic goes End-Of-Life in January 2025 and ROS 2 Jazzy will not support Gazebo Classic. We put together some guidance for those of you that need to make the switch!
