ROS News for the Week of 5/30/2022
ROS 2 Humble is Released – Sorry for the lack of a weekly update last week. I was at ICRA last week, and more specifically I was at this workshop on Friday.
ROSCon Kyoto talk proposals and diversity scholarships are due next week! Don’t delay, submit your talks today!
I’ll be at Automate and the ROS-I Annual Meeting all next week in Detroit. If you are planning to attend either of these events you may also want to check out the meetup I’ve put together with PickNik, ROS-Industrial / SWRI and Canonical.
