Our Spanish colleagues @ahcorde @jrivero @caguero along with @bsb808 have launched a new ROS company this week, Honu Robotics.. If you are looking some help from ROS / Gazebo core devs you might want to check them out.


Editor’s Note: I am posting this week’s news a bit early as I have a flight to Denmark to catch. :flight_departure: :denmark: Depending on how that week goes there may not be a news post on October 25th. I am going on an actual vacation the week after ROSCon and there will not be a news post on November 1st. Rest assured there will be a mega news post the following week!

Most of the team is going to be at ROSCon this week, we could really use some help answering questions on Robotics Stack Exchange.

Hi Katherine,

Just a friendly reminder that there is a change in the information for ROSCon China.
ROSCon China 2024 has been postponed to December 7-8, and the location has been changed to Shanghai.

  1. Is the free live stream available to view on a MAC/PC Browser, where no App in available.
  2. Can the live stream be viewed without a Conference Registration? I install the Whova app on a iPad , logged in and now asking for a Event Invitation Code

I believe you do not need the app to view the livestream; the app is for in-person attendees. You should be able to just watch the livestream from any device.

Could you please post an announcement on ROS Discourse about the date change?

I’ll certainly update it when I get a chance.

@Red24dog
Not true. The live stream will be free on Vimeo. No app or registration required. I’ll re-post the full link once we’ve finalized the stream, probably around or about 2024-10-21T15:00:00Z
