ROS Developers Podcast

I would like to dedicate this episode to the people that are working to create ROS-based robots to do all the most tedious tasks like ironing, cleaning… or refilling the paper at the WC when finished.

Now let me introduce you Dylan Terntzer the CEO and co-founder of Lionsbot. Welcome to the Podcast Dylan!

I would like to dedicate this episode to the people that are working to create ROS-based robots to do all the most tedious tasks like ironing, cleaning… or refilling the paper at the WC when finished.

Today we are going to learn about an amazing Singaporean company that is a leader worldwide in the field of cleaning robots. We will learn how they did it, what is the role of ROS in the project, and some advice for entrepreneurs.

But before going into the meat, let me tell you that in case you still believe ROS is a good path for you, you can learn ROS2 with The Construct. We provide self-led trainings based on robot simulations and remote real robots or personalized trainings for your team. You follow our lessons using your web browser and practice from minute one with the simulated robots. Also, as you advance the lesson, you will practice with real robots located in Barcelona. They are available 24/7 for you to remotely connect to them and do your practice.

Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start practicing with robots from minute one with The Construct.

Now let me introduce you Dylan Terntzer the CEO and co-founder of Lionsbot. Welcome to the Podcast Dylan!

I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROSDevelopers out there that have started or are already progressed doing progressing in programming robots by using FPGA and accelerating hardware of any kind. So if you are any of those engineers or ROSDevelopers using accelerate hardware for your robot, then this episode is dedicated to you!

Now let me introduce you Giulio Corradi who is the principal architect industrial vision healthcare at AMD. Giulio, welcome to the Podcast!

I would like to dedicate this episode to the people that are developing space systems for the colonization of space, using ROS-based robots. If you are involved in this progress of humanity, this episode is dedicated to you.

But before going into that, let me tell you about the ‘Managing fleets of robots with ROS2 Online Training’ that is organized by The Construct. In this training, you will learn how to make multiple robots navigate in a ROS2 environment, and how to use the Open-RMF to manage different fleets: how to coordinate, how to decide which robot serves which task, when to go to refill batteries, open doors at robot command, and many more things. This is a live online training, but all the lessons are practice-based (with both simulation and real robots) and teacher lead. We have even created a cafeteria to which you will connect remotely from your location and do your practice there!

Now let me introduce you Alex Sowell and Misha Savchenko.

Alex and Misha work on the Dexterous Robotics Team at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Alex is is Technical Lead for Robotics at CACI International, and Misha is Software Lead at METECS. They both work together to build the next generation of robots for NASA.

I would like to dedicate this episode to the people that build and maintain the core of ROS, that is the people of Open Robotics. But specifically, this episode is dedicated to the Open Robotics team in Singapore that is heavily working on the development of Open-RMF, the new kid in town. Thank you very much to Matthew, Yadu, Aaron, and Luca. Thanks for the time together at Singapore, especially during the quiz night where we almost hit 100% on the killing round.

Now let me introduce you Matthew Festo, who is the general manager of Open Robotics, Singapore. Matthew welcome to the Podcast!
