ROS News for the Week of June 19th, 2023
This week we learned that Direct Drive’s Diablo robot has a ROS interface.
We also learned that this MaiCat robot is using ROS. They are looking for beta testers from the ROS community.
Our friends at Formant released a Report about Robots as a Service. 81% of Formant’s profession robotics customers use ROS. The report is worth a read.
Say goodbye to ROS 2 Foxy
A warm welcome to our 2023 Google Summer of Code students Jasmeet (left) & Henrique (right)!
