ROS News for the Week of May 27th, 2024
Check out Tabletop HandyBot by Yifei Cheng. The example source code integrates ROS 2 Iron Irwini, MoveIt, a low cost robot arm, a depth sensor, Whisper Mic, Grounding DINO, Segment Anything and OpenAI Assistants. Really impressive work!
ROSCon Talk Proposals are Due on Monday, 2024-06-03T07:00:00Z
This is your final reminder that ROSCon talk proposals are due on Monday!
Everyone who has made a new post on ROS Discourse in the past year should consider writing a talk proposal. The worst thing that can happen is that the ROSCon reviewers don’t accept your talk.
We’re in love with this project! Leander Stephen D’Souza made a copy of the arcade classic Breakout in Gazebo Classic.
@DLu updated the ROS Clock to include Jazzy. It is worth noting that as of today ROS 1 Noetic Ninjemys has exactly one year of support remaining! The clock is ticking for our remaining ROS 1 stragglers.
