ROS News for the Week of November 18th, 2024
The ROSCon 2024 videos are finally here! If you missed a talk or missed the whole event you can now catch up by watching the videos online.
Join us on 2024-11-27 for our monthly Gazebo Community Meeting. We’ll have eight competitors from the NASA Space ROS Summer Sprint Challenge on to talk about their work.
@cottsay, one of our fantastic ROS core contributors, just added a new automatic review tool to rosdistro that should make it faster and easier to get your pull requests approved. Learn all about it in this post or by watching this ROSCon lightning talk.
Check out this homebrew ROS 2 snow plowing robot by Serdar Abali in Finland! With winter fast approaching in the northern hemisphere this seems like an amazing project! Coming across cool DIY ROS projects like this always makes my day.

@DLu just sent over this amazing custom RViz panel tutorial to the ROS 2 documentation. We should all be more like @DLu and spend some time porting and updating ROS 1 Wiki articles to the ROS 2 documentation.
