The TurtleBot3 robot is a standard platform robot in the ROS community, and it’s a reference that Canonical knows well, since we’ve used it in our tutorials. As a matter of fact, we use it to demonstrate some of our work, such as distributing a ROS stack through snaps. This robot embeds two boards, a ...
Welcome to this blog series which explores innovative uses of Ubuntu Core. Throughout this series, Canonical’s Engineers will show what you can build with this Core 24 release, highlighting the features and tools available to you. In this fourth blog, Mirko Ferrati, engineering manager from our Robotics team, will show you how to deploy ...
At a time when Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) keep rapidly reshaping industries like logistics and manufacturing, we’re thrilled to introduce you to our ROSCon 2023 Platform Partner; Husarion. Together, we are merging the world-class capabilities of Ubuntu Core with Husarion’s state-of-the-art robotics platforms. As we unveil our collabor ...
The robotics field is constantly evolving, and with AMD and Canonical’s collaboration, the trajectory towards a more adaptable and efficient robotics framework is shaping up. Last year, AMD introduced the Kria™ KR260 Robotics Kit. The board embodies the spirit of seamless integration, ensuring developers face fewer barriers when developin ...
eProsima’s advanced toolset for ROS 2 is now available in the Snap Store A surprise is awaiting all ROS developers in the Snap Store with the release of the Vulcanexus tool kit. They are one command away from getting eProsimas’ new contribution to the robotics community. From monitoring the performance of ROS 2 networks to ...
Choosing the right architecture can be hard, but we want to help. In this blog, we’ll look at different architectures and their pros and cons. We’ll also show you how to apply the chosen architecture to a mobile robot software stack with three essential apps. With this blogpost, we will see the different ROS architectures ...
Historically ROS has been developed on top of Ubuntu, relying on the distribution as a stable base providing tools (like GCC, CMake, Python to name a few) and libraries (such as Boost, Eigen, PCL) and following its release cycle (a distribution per year, an LTS every two years). This synergy has worked great for more ...
Welcome to Part 6 of our “Optimise your ROS snap” blog series. Make sure to check Part 5. This sixth and final part will summarise every optimisation that we did. We will provide a critique for every optimisation that we tried along this series of blogs. Finally, we have reached the last part of this ...
Welcome to Part 5 of our “Optimise your ROS snap” blog series. Make sure to check Part 4. This fifth part is going to cover two different optimisations. The first one, covers the compression algorithm. The second one, is about implementing extremely risky but efficient file deletion. We are going to present two completely different ...
Welcome to Part 4 of our “optimise your ROS snap” blog series. Make sure to check Part 3 before. This fourth part is going to explain what dynamic library caching is. We will present how to use it to optimise ROS snaps, along with the different points to be careful about. Finally, we will apply ...
Welcome to Part 3 of our “optimise your ROS snap” blog series. Make sure to check Part 2. This third part is going to present safe optimisations consisting of removing duplicates and unnecessary files. We will present three different methods as well as their cumulative benefits for the performance of ROS snaps. When snaps are ...
Welcome to Part 2 of the “optimise your ROS snap” blog series. Make sure to check Part 1 before reading this blog post. This second part is going to present initial optimisations already used in the Gazebo snap. We will present the benefit that they could bring to our ROS snaps as well as the ...
