ROS News for the week of June 5th, 2023
Free ROS swag! This week everyone was printing ROS 2 Iron Irwini figures. If you want some other form of Iron swag it is available here.
Both Melodic and Foxy are going end of life in a little over a week. If you maintain a Melodic / Foxy package please make sure all of your updates make it in to the final sync. Is it news worthy? Yes!
This week we launched Humble Support for TurtleBot 4!
I came across this amazing FOSS / ROS package for agricultural path planning this week called Fields2Cover. Source code is here.
Our next ROS By-The-Bay will be 2022-06-22. We’ve lined up speakers from Open Navigation, Mission Robotics (underwater robotics), and Polymath Robotics (autonomy for everything else).
Louise Poubel, of Open Robotics and Zipline, fame was on Sense, Think, Act Podcast
