ROS News for the Week of September 12th, 2022
@kneave got ROS running on a Steam Deck! This looks like an amazing operator console for ROS robots.
Check out this articulated 3D model of the Gazebo Garden mascot! The office printer has been hard at work printing out a bunch of these. The Gazebo Garden release is nearly here, consider picking up a t-shirt and helping out with our tutorial party.
REGISTER FOR ROSCON NOW Please register for ROSCon as soon as possible! We’re on track to potentially sell out, and tickets go up in price on Monday. It will also become substantially more difficult to obtain a visa to enter Japan if you wait until a week or two before the event.
