ROS News for the Week of November 14th, 2022
Congratulations to team Polimove on winning the Indy Autonomous Challenge
Open Robotics has been working with DeepMind / MuJoCo to improve simulation interoperability and domain randomization. As part of this you can now convert between MuJoCo and Gazebo model files using our new open source tool.
Boston Dynamics has sued Ghost Robotics for Patent Infringement – Ghost Fires Back – Image compliments Craiyon using the prompt “Robot dog fight.”
