ROS News for the Week of September 2nd, 2024
The Indy Autonomous Challenge is happening RIGHT NOW at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You can watch the cars compete using the live stream link above. More coverage is available at the The Robot Report. All of the vehicles in the competition are running ROS / Autoware.
The Gazebo Ionic Test and Tutorial Party is also happening RIGHT NOW. We would love your help testing the next version of Gazebo.
The results from our survey of ROS Windows Users is now available. We would love your feedback on how ROS should support Windows 11.
If you are a Fusion360 user, @ahb just released a Fusion 360 plugin to export CAD models in SDFormat, which makes them immediately available for simulation in Gazebo and visualization in RViz.
A team of ROS devs just released a ROS package for Mitsubishi line of Melfa robots.
