Have you ever wanted to buy a used industrial robot? I know a few people who have done so and they always run into problems getting the proprietary robot controller to do exactly what they want.

 This is really exciting work and should make it a lot cheaper and easier to get a high performance robot arm on a budget!

@skye.galaxy, our newest ROS 2 committer, has put together a fantastic benchmark of ROS 2 executor performance. This work is a stepping stone to getting a more performant executor into ROS 2 Lyric Luth.


@ShawnHymel and Digikey are back again this week with a new tutorial on building a ROS publisher and subscriber using ROS 2 Jazzy.
