The launch and first meeting of Embodied AI Community Group!

Next Generation ROS

I am pleased to announce that we are launching the new Embodied AI Community Group dedicated to the topic of applications of Generative AI to ROS 2 robotics.

It is thrilling to see that the initiative is met with a great response from the community both through responses to a call for interest
(Embodied AI Community Group - Call of Interest) and a lively Birds of Feather Embodied AI session at ROSCon 2024 in Odense, it is time to kick things off!

A GitHub space, members mailing group and a shared meetings document have all been initialized. Following time zone preferences from our first registered members, I decided for 12th November at 16:00 UTC for our first group meeting (meeting link), with apologies to the Japanese members of the community.

You can visit the repository page ROS Embodied AI Community Group · GitHub to find links to the document, join the member mailing group and propose additional agenda points for the kick-off.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

@adamdbrw

thanks for putting things together.

i would love to join the meeting but i will be attending and presenting at the KubeCon / Co-Located events, so i will miss the 1st meeting.

Note: Tuesday 16:00 UTC (8 AM / PST), we have ROS PMC meeting every week. So I am not gonna be able to make it… that is something we can discuss on 1st meeting though. (I would like either Mon, Thu or Friday with same time slot.)

@tomoyafujita I will make sure to avoid conflict with PMC for the next call and have it on Thursday if there is no major conflict for other members!

Do you have a meeting link that you can share for folks to find / join? I assume its on the ROS Community Calendar, but linking that for passersby would be great :slight_smile:

I was planning to join the meeting, but unfortunately, a scheduling conflict came up at the planned time. Will there be a recording available afterward by any chance, @adamdbrw?

Definitely, we will record the meeting. I also want to make sure that the next meeting date is better suited for you and other group members that couldn’t join the first one.
