ROS News for the Week of May 29th 2023
This week @smac announced the launch of Open Navigation LLC. This new organization will help fund the development of Nav2. Please see the discourse discussion and consider supporting Steve’s new endeavor.
It was ICRA this week. @clalancette and @mabelzhang were at ICRA to present their workshop, “All About ROS 2 & Gazebo Tutorial.” The source materials for the workshop are now available. Our own @caguero also gave a talk about robot architecture at ICRA.
This week also included the 2023 Simulated Humanoid Robot Wrestling Competition , the 2023 F1/Tenth races and an announcement from Marc Raibert that there is a ROS 2 interface for Spot!
