Open Robotics

The free ROSCon 2024 live stream kicks off at 9am CEST tomorrow! If you couldn't join us in person in Odense we would love it if you joined us virtually! All of the relevant details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gRw-YiRi

ROSCon 2024 in Odense, Denmark was a great time. I couldn't help writing about it right away. Sorry for the barely-edited thoughts. https://lnkd.in/e65ZRbtD

🚨 ROSCon 2025 is coming to Singapore! 🇸🇬🤖 We’re excited to announce that Singapore will host ROSCon 2025 for the first time! 🎉 This major robotics event, organised by Open Robotics and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC), and the National Robotics Programme (NRP), will bring together 1,000 international delegates to connect with Singapore’s vibrant robotics community. 🌐✨ In addition, NRP has officially joined the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA), strengthening Singapore's commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics tech and enhancing the global robotics ecosystem! 🌍💡🌍🤝 Through funding from NRP, Singapore is also where the Open Robotics Middleware Framework (Open-RMF) was developed in partnership with the Open Robotics organization and the Centre for Healthcare Assistive & Robotics Technology (CHART). Open-RMF is a free, open source, modular software system that enables sharing and interoperability between multiple fleets of robots and physical infrastructure, like doors, elevators and building management systems. Professor Quek Tong Boon, Chief Executive of NRP, commented: “We are excited to welcome the global robotics community to Singapore for ROSCon 2025. This is a valuable opportunity to share experiences and best practices, and to explore how ROS and ROS-enabled technologies can benefit both society and the economy.” On the OSRA membership, he said, “By working alongside industry leaders, we are not only supporting the development of critical robotics platforms like ROS, but also ensuring that Singapore remains at the forefront of robotics innovation. This collaboration strengthens our technical capabilities, fosters knowledge exchange, and helps drive advancements that will benefit industries and society on a global scale.” Ms Vanessa Yamzon Orsi, Chief Executive Officer of Open Robotics highlighted Singapore’s global leadership in tech and added, "Having been the beneficiary of the Singapore government's support for our projects, we have witnessed first-hand the earnest desire of their technology agencies and leaders to bring robotics to the next level, not just in their country but all across the globe. Singapore is truly a global leader in innovation, and we eagerly look forward to our international gathering of ROS and robotics enthusiasts there next year". Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to host this landmark event! 🚀 #ROSCon2025 #Robotics #Innovation #Singapore #OpenSource #NRP #A_STAR #Technology Photos by Matthew Festo

What an incredible experience at #ROSCon2024! 🚀 We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to showcase Olive Robotics at the Startup Alley in #Odense, #Denmark. Our team had an amazing time presenting our #sensor #solutions and #embedded #AI-powered technologies designed for modern #robotics and #automation. 🌐 Our #sensors, developed to #integrate #seamlessly with #ROS 2, provide embedded AI all-in-one unit! We met a diverse and passionate robotics community, exchanged knowledge, and discussed the future of #sensor #intelligence and robotic automation. It's clear that the world of robotics is accelerating, and we’re proud to be part of this exciting journey! 🔧 A huge thanks to all who stopped by our #booth, the entire ROS Community , Odense Robotics, and Open Robotics! All the enthusiasm and insightful discussions have been truly inspiring. We are excited to continue innovating and empowering robots with even more intelligent sensor solutions! We’re proud to initiate a collaboration with industry leaders like Ekumen, Dexory, eProsima, and ZettaScale Technology and are looking forward to driving cutting-edge developments together. 🌟 Highlights of our experience: - Engaging with top minds in the robotics space. - Demonstrating the power of our interoperable embedded robotics solutions. - Networking with industry leaders, startups, and innovators. - Exploring the latest advancements in ROS 2. We’re already looking forward to next year’s #ROSCon! If you missed us at the event and are curious about what we’re building at Olive Robotics, feel free to reach out—we'd love to chat! 🤝 #Robotics #AI #ROS2 #Automation #Sensors #Innovation #EmbeddedAI #TechInnovation #StartupAlley #ROSCon #ROS Open Robotics Dexory Intrinsic ZettaScale Technology Universal Robots Odense Robotics

This is a great repository for people who, like me, want to work with well-built environments and AMRs before building their own. This is 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀. In the simulation, I am working in the 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 (𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱), using the 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 robot. --- Their 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 Environments: • Obstacle World • Office World (Completed) • Office World (Under Construction) Their 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 Environments: • Agriculture World • Inspection World • Orchard World 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀: This is not a world, but includes different dirt road segments and other materials to build a race track. Their 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 (𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀): • Jackal • Husky • Ridgeback • Dingo • Boxer Each environment offers some of these robots to choose from. --- * Definitely check out their 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: https://lnkd.in/dyCb62Qz * For complete details, visit their 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯 repository: https://lnkd.in/dK-ketsc * To fully enjoy working with their environments and robots, you'll need to use ROS 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗰 or 𝗡𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 (and Gazebo, of course). * To 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 any robot platform, use commands like this: sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-husky-gazebo (e.g., for ROS 𝙼̲𝚎̲𝚕̲𝚘̲𝚍̲𝚒̲𝚌̲ and 𝙷̲𝚞̲𝚜̲𝚔̲𝚢̲ Platform) #ROS #ROS2 #GAZEBO #AMR

🤖 It’s a wrap for the ROSCon '24! It was a pleasure to meet you all and share all the robotics insights. Special thanks to our partners for sharing the experience with us: Open 3D Engine by The Linux Foundation, AMD, and Husarion. Together, we can push the limits of what’s possible in robotics. 👉More photos in the comments! Open Robotics #ROSCon #ROS #simulation #robotics #ROS2 #OpenRobotics

I am proud to share we got a very succesful Roscon 2024 conference in Odense Denmark, presenting 10Gbit network offload on our Kria KR260 with our partner Accelerat, the powerful Embedded+ platform that combines Ryzen R2000 with Versal edge in a single mini-ITX board, and the Clearpath Jackal fast Unmanned Ground Vehicle powerd by Ryzen AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS.

🚀 Starting Day 2 of ROS Industrial Conference 2024 with exciting updates from ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas presented by Michael Ripperger. Great to hear about the latest developments in open-source tools for industrial and manufacturing robotics!
