ROS News for the week of October 6th, 2025
We have a couple of fresh announcements regarding ROSCon 2025 in Singapore. First off, our OSRA members and ROSCon sponsors will be hosting ten mini-workshops on the ROSCon workshop day. The workshops are free for all ROSCon attendees and no RSVP is required. We’ve also published our ROSCon 2025 exhibitor map and a full list of exhibitors
ROSCon is a little over two weeks away and tickets are still available.
Do you have plans for after ROSCon? Our Singapore ROS Meetup group has organized an all day post ROSCon Hackathon. Swing by and meet some of our core devs and help us close a few outstanding bugs and feature requests.
Our colleagues over at NVIDIA have open sourced Greenwave Monitor, a terminal user interface (TUI) for high-performance ROS topic monitoring and diagnostics.
Need a quick and easy way to render ROS Bag data in Python? Check out robotdatapy: a Python package for loading / processing ROSBag data.
