ROS Developers Podcast

Hi ROS Developers and welcome to the ROS Developers Podcast: the program, the podcast that gives you insights from the experts about how to program your robots with ROS.

I'm Ricardo Tellez, from The Construct. Today, we are at the ROS Industrial conference (Europe). I had the chance to meet Christian Henkel who presented at the conference the dockeROS library. DockeROS allows to dockerize ROS applications and sends them to remote robots. In this interview, Christian will explain to us how to do that, how to test the dockeROS and how do they differ from snaps.

Hi ROS Developers and welcome to the ROS Developers Podcast: the program, the podcast that gives you insights from the experts about how to program your robots with ROS.

I'm Ricardo Tellez, from The Construct. Today, I would like to dedicate the program to all the ROS Developers that thought that a state machine would do the work, but once implemented, they do not work for a specific case, so we have to add a specific condition for that case, but then another special case appears, and we provide another special solution, in an endless loop.

Anyway, today we are going to learn about what are behavior trees, why are they better than state machines and how can we use them inside ROS All those questions and many more will be answered by Davide Faconti, the creator of the BehaviorTree.CPP set of libraries

Let's learn in this episode how to use Swift with ROS! What is Swift? Why it may be useful to program with it in ROS? How to actually do it? All those questions and many more to be answered by Thomas Gustafsson, creator of the Swift ROS client package.

Become an expert in robot programming with ROS by listening to the experts. Every week, we interview an expert in robot programming with ROS who will give us tips and tricks based on his experience. Learn to program robots with ROS from the experts!

Today I'm going to talk about how to reproduce robotics results. You know, when you see that paper that says that they have done this and that with the robot. Then you want to reproduce the results so you can check if the result is correct or want to improve from that point. Even if you have access to the git code, the conditions on which that code was executed are not the same, so you cannot achieve the results, and you don't know if the results were actually wrong or is your implementation that doesn't work.

To learn more about how to reproduce robotics results today we are going to talk to one of the engineers of The Construct that is developing the ROSjects, a system for the complete reproducibility of robotics code based on ROS.

In this episode Dominik Nowak explains us about the Husarnet, a p2p network that allows to connect ROS robots and devices over the internet without requiring to have a central cloud that manages communications, with a low latency and a secure protocol.

In this episode, Ralph tell us about a bunch of different ROS projects that he and his team are developing at Bosh. Micro-ROS, Functional Mock-up Interface, Executor for ROS 2, and many other things. Remember to visit the notes of the podcast for links to all those projects and code
