Also, IROS is next week! Please let me know if you see a cool paper we should feature, ROS or otherwise. It is really hard for us working folks to go through all the papers and I would love to provide the community with a summary of some of the highlights.

The introduction to the Navigation2 system is being presented at IROS 2020. Even since submitting that paper, we have a ton of new features! I hope folks watch it and leave some good questions for me to answer!

The preprint version can be found here on Arxiv.

Thanks for links, I registered for the ROS WORLD

Many thanks for a great summary!

The link * ROS Agriculture is looking for Videos . Seems to point to the previous one about a new RMW. Here is a target link: What can robots do in agriculture? - ROS-Agriculture - Open Robotics Discourse

Update now that IROS 2020 has gone live:

I encourage you all to register for IROS 2020 (free) and make sure to check out the Navigation2 paper. It is a finalist for the RoboCup Best Paper Award and part of the judgement criteria may be the number of views and “thumbs up”. I’d appreciate it if you all watched the video and upvote to help push ROS2 elements as winning high-profile academic awards. It would be nice, if you feel compelled, to share with your colleagues.
