ROS 2 Gets a Major Upgrade: Introducing Jazzy Jalisco with Intrinsic Platform Bridge! In a major development for robot software, the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF) released ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco. This 10th iteration of ROS 2 is a long-term supported (LTS) version, guaranteed for updates until May 2029. Jazzy Jalisco boasts new features and a key bridge: it allows existing ROS code to connect with the Intrinsic platform. This connection is significant because Intrinsic, a company launched from Alphabet's X moonshot division in 2021, acquired OSRF in late 2022. Change Notes: https://lnkd.in/dan-EGTe

It's not I, Robot, but: We, Anthrobot. Anthrobotics starts with the choice to consider the human-machine intertwining as a dynamic union of more or less institutionalised collectives rather than separated discrete realities (individual humans, on one side, and discrete individualised machines on the other). https://lnkd.in/dDYz_bJp

Another great meeting of the IEEE Humanoid Study Team. With the overall mission to identify and accelerate standards development for humanoids, the Standards Framework Team I participate will develop a landscape analysis of current standards that can and cannot be applied to humanoid robotics. The group will meet every 2 weeks for an entire year, and it quickly became clear we are dealing with a rabbit hole of unprecedent size and depth, as the very definition of "what is a humanoid" created ramifications we may have to eventually have to deal with. For it was mentioned for example that, unless people can see a face, they often do not think of a robot as a humanoid. I said that in such case we could have to deal with androids and gynoids, and mentioned how in UK public bathrooms often say whether they are being serviced by male or female cleaners. So, the challenge is creating a standard which covers as much as possible all the aspects of humanoid production and use, but in an achievable and market inclusive way.

🚀 Unlocking the Power of ROS2: Understanding Publishers and Subscribers 🤖 In the world of robotics, efficient communication between components is crucial. That's where ROS2's publisher-subscriber model shines. 🌟 🔹 Publishers: These nodes are responsible for sending out messages. They "publish" data on a specific topic, making it available for other nodes to use. 🔹 Subscribers: These nodes listen for messages on topics they are interested in. They "subscribe" to these topics and process the incoming data as it arrives. This decoupled architecture allows for scalable and flexible robotic systems, where components can operate independently yet communicate seamlessly. Whether you're building a complex robot or integrating multiple systems, understanding this model is key to efficient and effective ROS2 applications. As for example turtlebot robot is drawing circle with publisher subscriber method. you can visualise it using rqt_graph. Curious to dive deeper into ROS2? Let's connect and explore the future of robotics together! 🌐 Day (6/100) #ROS2 #Robotics #TechInnovation #PublisherSubscriber #RoboticSystems #SoftwareEngineering
