Our mission is to support development, distribution, and adoption of open source software like #ROS and #Gazebo for use in the robotics industry. Formerly OSRF.
Here is your #ROS and open source robotics news for the week of Oct 12th, 2026:
🤖ROSConCN kicks off in Shanghi
🤖@ROSConUK kicks off next Wed
🤖ROS By-The-Bay @ @IntrinsicAI w/ @youtalk
🤖Run RViz clone in your terminal
🤖DendROS colors your ROS terminal output

ROSCon India 2026 is official.
📅 2–4 December 2026
📍 JN Tata Auditorium, IISc Bengaluru
Hosted by @rigbetellabs | Powered by @artparkindia | In association with @OpenRoboticsOrg
What began as a community of ROS developers has grown into one of India's leading platforms for the robotics ecosystem.
It brings together developers, researchers, students, startups and industry leaders.
Huge Congratulations to @PallaviSaha10 and Team to pull this off!
India needs more events for Physical AI!
#ROSConIndia2026#ROS#ROS2
Join us for our monthly #ROS By-The-Bay meetup at the new @IntrinsicAI office this Thursday!
Our guest speakers will be @youtalk, who will discuss swift-ros2, Davis Foster, co-founder of @AgencyToolCo (OTA robot updates), and Jose Diaz, co-founder of Thrust Robotics.

1. oomwoo: A 3D-printable robot vacuum you assemble from parts you source
• Runs today in ROS2 Gazebo simulation
• Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32 and Home Assistant
Why try it: Try the mapping and navigation stack in simulation before building hardware

Thursday at ROS By-The-Bay @IntrinsicAI I'll show iPhone, iPad and Mac joining a #ROS2 graph. No bridge.
The library behind it just shipped: swift-ros2 v3.
Native Swift over Zenoh or DDS: topics, services, actions, parameters. Verified live on Humble, Jazzy, Kilted and Lyrical.
Our robot programming web platform, Unibotics, now supports Dobot Magician robot, both physical and simulated 🚀 You can develop robotics applications for this industrial robot now from your web browser. In C++, Python, using ROS2 topics, MoveIt2....

DIY Open-Source robot vacuum cleaner update
3D printed main brush gear in POM (aka Delrin, acetal).
POM is best for gears like these - but super difficult to 3D print.
I've figured out how to print POM gears easily, almost like printing PETG.
