ROS News for October 22nd, 2023
We did it! ROSCon 2023 and PX4 Summit are in the bag! We’ll have the videos up in the next couple of weeks! Thank you to everyone who made it possible! If one of the core maintainers owes you a PR or an e-mail please be patient, we’ve had a long couple of weeks.
Now is a great time to start thinking about joining us in Odense in 2024.
ROS 2 TSC Community Representative Election results are in! Welcome your new reps @DLu and @smac!
Nvidia was busy at ROSCon. They released a new robotics reference design called the Nova Carter. Nvidia also had multiple other announcements on topics like Jetson and Issac ROS – More – Even More
