We explore the path from prototyping with ROS 2 to deploying in production with RTI Connext. Joined by Brian Senese, we dive into why ROS 2 is popular among robotics teams, its benefits and limitations, and the role of DDS in ensuring efficient data communication. Brian explains the importance of choosing the right DDS implementation like Connext for optimizing performance, debugging, and ensuring quality in commercial applications. Tune in to understand how to transition your robotics projects from a research environment to mission-critical production systems.
