On the community event calendar (introduced in discourse.openrobotics.org#48220 ), is there a way to 1) select only the events of my interest, 2) receive updates if such event gets updated (time change etc.)? Each event seems to offer “Copy to my calendar”, which does copy a particular event on to my calendar, but the event doesn’t seem to get updates from the original event entity. Also even if the original event is recurring, the copied event seems to be one-time. Choosing “Add to Google Calen

How much time did you spend on your last robot before it actually moved in Gazebo? Not designing it. Bringing it up. Writing URDFs. Configuring ros2_control . Fixing TF trees. Debugging controllers that refuse to activate. Chasing launch issues. Finding out a single missing parameter prevented the entire robot from moving. After repeating that workflow enough times, I started building a tool to automate it. Supported CAD sources STEP SolidWorks assemblies Onshape assemblies The generated model i

I’ve spent the last few months building ������� to automate one of the most repetitive parts of robotics development. Instead of manually converting CAD assemblies, configuring joints, generating robot descriptions, and debugging the first setup, the goal is a verified, ready-to-use robotics workspace automatically in ������ and ����. But now I’m at a point where the technical part feels solid. The new challenge is figuring out how to reach

As avid Jetson user, I just saw there has been 50-100% price increases across all Nvidia Jetson kit/module lineup , what other boards/SoCs/PCs are you using for running ROS on real world robots? I saw recent posts by @smac with AMD Strix , Intel also made some robotics computers recently , there’s also upcoming Qualcomm’s Arduino HW , but that’s more on EDU/DIY side… Jetsons seemed to me to have the most mature ecosystem, but some of those price increases surely puts them away from reach of stud

Hi everyone, I am releasing PyZeROS , an experimental alternative to rclpy for communicating with ROS from Python. This is not a Python wheel packaging rclpy : I bit the bullet and wrote a client from scratch in pure Python. github.com GitHub - 2lian/pyzeros2: An alternative to ROS 2 rclpy. Minimal... An alternative to ROS 2 rclpy. Minimal dependencies, no ROS installation, asyncio executor. You can install PyZeROS like a standard python package: pip install pyzeros It does not require a ROS ins

Hi everyone, I recently released OnSLAM , an open-source Windows application for running LiDAR-inertial odometry and mapping on ROS1 bag files. It automatically detects compatible LiDAR and IMU topics, runs the mapping pipeline locally, visualizes the trajectory and point-cloud map in the browser, and exports PLY and PCD files. The main goal is to make it easier to inspect datasets, demonstrate LIO mapping, and generate maps without rebuilding a complete Linux and ROS environment. The project is

Previously, we introduced a new tool — ROS2-DDSConfig-Optimizer, which is an AI-driven tool that automatically tunes DDS configuration for ROS2 applications. Initially, it only supported Fast DDS, but now it supports Cyclone DDS as well! Here we show a comparison between traditional manual tuning and using this tool: More improvement showcase and details: GitHub - qualcomm-qrb-ros/ROS2-DDSConfig-Optimizer: An AI-driven tool that automatically tunes DDS configuration for ROS2 applications. · GitH

Hi all, Sharing a tool I’ve been building: ros2_info — a fastfetch-style ROS 2 workstation dashboard with a full-screen terminal UI. Written in Rust, so it runs headless over SSH and on Pi/Jetson-class hardware without any Electron/webview overhead. Repo: GitHub - Gaurav-x111/ros2_info: fastfetch for ROS2 — distro info, live nodes, workspaces, web dashboard. One command. Everything you need. · GitHub It’s not trying to replace your editor or your terminal — it’s trying to replace the five termin

Hi everyone, LinkForge recently passed 5,000 downloads on the Blender Extensions platform, which encouraged me to share a broader idea behind the project rather than just another release announcement. Over the past year, I’ve been working on LinkForge, which started as a Blender extension for creating robot models. As the project evolved, I realized the more interesting problem wasn’t Blender itself, it was the way we author robot descriptions. Today, formats like URDF and XACRO often become the

Hi everyone! We’re excited to announce the release of OpenAMRobot v0.0.1 , an MIT-licensed, open-source mobile robotics platform built with ROS 2 Jazzy . OpenAMRobot is intended for education, research, experimentation, and rapid prototyping. The current release includes: Autonomous navigation SLAM and map creation Simulation support Autonomous docking A web-based operator interface Tools and examples for working with the robot through ROS 2 We would greatly appreciate feedback from the ROS co

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on something I’m pretty excited about and wanted to share it with the community. RoboShield is a real-time RTPS security watchdog I wrote in Rust. It basically sits on the wire (like on a NanoPi R2S with dual ethernet) and sniffs DDS/RTPS packets to catch stuff like rogue nodes joining your network, someone flooding /cmd_vel , or unauthorized publishers trying to hijack topics. GitHub : GitHub - Amin-Ahmed-G/robotshield · GitHub What it does Parses raw RTPS submes

Hello. I am currently working on a recipe to build a ros2-godot plugin ( GitHub - Kotakku/ros2-for-godot · GitHub ) on Windows. The goal is to have a ‘standalone’ plugin embedding all the needed dll (so without needing to install a ROS environment). Please note that I do not know a lot about ROS2… I have an issue with dynamically loaded libraries, because the plugin directory in not in the PATH envvar, and so those dlls are not found. The RMW implementation can be made static, thanks to CMake va

0. Preface Pika Sense provides an intuitive teleoperation interface for robotic manipulation and data collection. Combined with Pika Station, Pika Gripper, and the AgileX NERO robotic arm, it enables low-latency end-effector teleoperation for both single-arm and dual-arm systems. This tutorial walks through the complete setup process, and serves as a reference for developers who want to integrate Pika Sense with their own robotic arms. warning: Pika Sense currently supports: AgileX PiPER AgileX

Hi robotic developers, Are you working with Behavior Trees, robotics, ROS/ROS 2, autonomous systems, or robot decision-making ? We are conducting a research study on adaptation needs in robotic systems that use Behavior Trees. If you work with robotic systems, we’d greatly appreciate your input. We’re conducting a short survey to answer two key questions: The relevance of different adaptation needs in robotic systems. The suitability of different BT adaptation approaches for addressing those nee

Hey all! I’m one of the maintainers of ros2_rust , and we recently released a new crate, ros-env , that aims to unify ROS 2 message consumption in Rust. If you’re already generating Rust code for your message interfaces with rosidl_generator_rs , you can add ros-env as a regular Cargo dependency and access the message types from any packages in your sourced ROS 2 environment. // Assuming the Rust crate for `shape_msgs` is in `AMENT_PREFIX_PATH` use ros_env::shape_msgs::msg::Plane; You don’t need

If you’ve built an operator UI or ground station in React, you’ve probably hit the same wall I did: the moment you need real-time telemetry visualization, your options are to run Foxglove or Grafana as separate infrastructure and iframe them in, or hand-roll canvas components from scratch. Neither is great when what you actually want is telemetry views that live natively inside the app you’re already building. So I built Altara: a set of MIT-licensed React components for real-time telemetry, wit

Dual-arm robots are becoming increasingly important in embodied AI, teleoperation, imitation learning, and collaborative manipulation research. This tutorial demonstrates how to configure two AgileX NERO 7-DOF robotic arms in a leader-follower setup using CAN bus communication. Once configured, the follower arm will automatically replicate the motion of the leader arm in real time. What You’ll Build By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to: Synchronize two NERO robot arms Enable real-time lea

CANopen has long been one of the most widely used communication standards in industrial automation. Built on top of the CAN bus and standardised by CAN in Automation (CiA), it connects motor drives, I/O modules, sensors and other field devices across machines, robots and vehicles. The ros2_canopen stack, maintained under the ROS-Industrial umbrella, brings this ecosystem natively into ROS 2. It lets developers describe a CAN bus, bring up a CANopen master, and talk to every device on the bus thr

I wanted to share an architectural pattern for handling autonomous drone navigation using ROS 2 (Jazzy) and PX4 Autopilot via Micro XRCE-DDS, specifically regarding the Offboard mode failsafe. The Problem: When developing an autonomous flight node in C++, transitioning to PX4’s Offboard mode can be tricky. PX4 implements a strict failsafe: it will reject any VEHICLE_CMD_DO_SET_MODE to Offboard unless it detects a continuous stream of setpoints (e.g., TrajectorySetpoint and OffboardControlMode )

Thanks to new contributor, we have documentation of, and several options for, axis conventions in pyspacemouse not yet released to pypi, but please try it out (you can pip install directly from github!) and let me know what you think. Longer term, the plan is to change the default convention to HID , because the LEGACY convention is, frankly, insane, and I don’t want all users to have to “fix it” on their own. spacemouse.kubaandrysek.cz Axis Conventions - API documentation for this tool - PySpac

Hello fellow ROS users, maintainers, contributors and anyone else who may be passing by. Due to a recent uptick in LLM-authored pull requests, the ROS PMC has elected to extend the upstream OSRF policy on the use of generative tools to help provide some boundaries/guidelines on the use of these tools. These tools and technologies are constantly changing, so this isn’t intended to serve as a permanent policy, but rather it is to provide a framework for how to interact on ROS-related projects. The
