ROS News for the Week of January 2nd, 2023
Happy New Year! The new year means two things: every robotics journalist and influencer spent the last two weeks writing a “2022 Recap” and people with open-source side projects got some dedicated time to work on them. You’ll find many of them below.
This week through the weekend is the Consumer Electronics Show and there were a lot of big announcements from robotics companies. Here is a complete list of robotics companies at CES along with more in-depth coverage from TechCrunch. Don’t miss the Indy Autonomous Challenge live stream tomorrow.
