[KimMcG]

Hi all!

Time for the last Aerial Robotics ROS interests group meeting before the summer break.

• Date and Time: 2025-06-19T17:00:00Z→2025-06-19T18:00:00Z
• Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/qfa-cqwh-jei
  These meetings are posted on the ROS community calendar so make sure to add those to your calendar.

This edition will be a special one! We will have not one… but two presentations of projects conducted at Ardupilot’s GSoC last year, such that you can already have a taster of what to expect of this summer’s edition

• “Object Tracking and Follow ME in ArduPilot based Quadcopters” by @khanasif786 (blog)
• “Transformer-based visual positioning and optimisation framework for GPS-denied high-altitude navigation using ROS2” by @Sanket_Sharma (blog)

See you there!

Here are the notes for tomorrow’s meeting! The join information can be found in the first post in this thread. See you then!
