Hi
I’m pleased to announce that the Accelerated Memory Transport Working Group was officially approved by the TGC on January 27th 2026.
This group will focus on extending the ROS transport utilities to enable better memory management through the pipeline to take advantage of available hardware accelerators efficiently, while providing fallbacks in cases where the whole system can not handle the advanced transport.
And may involve code in repositories including but not limited to:
- https://github.com/ros2/rosidl
- https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp
- https://github.com/ros2/rcl
- https://github.com/ros2/rmw
- https://github.com/ros2/rosidl_typesupport
- https://github.com/ros2/rcl_interfaces
The first meeting of the Accelerated Memory Transport Working Group will be on 2026-02-11T16:00:00Z → 2026-02-11T17:00:00Z
If you have any question about the process, please reach out to me: acordero@honurobotics.com
Thank you
