We’ll have another Aerial Robotics meeting next week. _Remember that it is on Thursdays from now on_ as we announced last time 😉

2025-02-20T17:00:00Z→2025-02-20T18:00:00Z  
Video call link: [https://meet.google.com/qfa-cqwh-jei](https://meet.google.com/qfa-cqwh-jei)

We have a guest presentation by Patrik, to talk about how they use ROS 2 at Ark Electronics and how to use ROS2 with PX4, on the Jetson and the PI. Moreover, we will have a round table such that everyone can let us know on which projects they are working on.

### Preliminary Agenda

- Announcements
- Round table
- Guest Presentation by Patrik Pördi from [Ark Electronics](https://arkelectron.com/) to talk about the ROS 2 in the ARK ecosystem ([youtube playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJB3OAo3tw&list=PLUepQApgwSoyIdgrab7oNXktWxaxzTcKm))

Mind that the times of the meetings are already posted before time on the [ROS community event calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_3fc5c4d6ece9d80d49f136c1dcd54d7f44e1acefdbe87228c92ff268e85e2ea0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=UTC)

Hey! Nice to know that there is a working group specifically for aerial robotics. I’m currently researching new ways of managing contingencies for UAS and I’ve developed a neat way of integrating behavior trees with PX4. I’d be very happy to introduce you to the basic ideas in one of the future meetings (unfortunately I don’t have time next thursday).

The repo I refer to is called [AutoAPMS](https://github.com/robin-mueller/auto-apms).

See you around!

Ah yes I see you have shared it before here on Discourse but thanks for sharing it again! I’ll make sure to mention it in the announcements. We do have already people lined up for presentations for the next month but it would be interesting to hear more about this. We’ll check out the project and connect you if you’d like to present it to the group.

We will be using hackMD for notes in Markdown again. If anyone has any announcements they’d like to add or projects they are working on, you can do that before the meeting starts (no signup required)

There is also this [youtube video playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJB3OAo3tw&list=PLUepQApgwSoyIdgrab7oNXktWxaxzTcKm) with the ROS 2 tutorials Ark Electronics made.

Here are the notes (with some extra attention to the discussion). If you feel something is missing (like your name or important data), feel free to open a PR!:

Our next meeting will be **Thursday 20th of March at 5 pm UTC**. We’ll announce it here and on LinkedIn 1-2 weeks before but they have been planned before hand on the community [ROS calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_3fc5c4d6ece9d80d49f136c1dcd54d7f44e1acefdbe87228c92ff268e85e2ea0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=UTC).

Also an reminder that we have a [Discord channel on the Open Robotics discord](http://discourse.ros.org/t/announcing-the-official-osrf-discord-server/30236) server. It used to be called #cwg-aerial but is now called **#aerial-robotics**
