ROS News for the Week of March 27th, 2023
By far, the most popular thing we posted this week was a link and video to this paper called, “BundleSDF: Neural 6-DoF Tracking and 3D Reconstruction of Unknown Objects”
from NVIDIA. It looks really promising. We look forward to trying it out.
ROSCon Madrid is Happening on 2023-09-29!
Our Singapore ROS Crew is holding a meetup on 2023-04-15 – There are also multiple ROS talks at FOSSASIA
Depending on who you ask ROS 1 Melodic Morenia goes end of life this month. In either case, if you are running Melodic it is time for an upgrade!
