ROS-Industrial Consortium Kickoff Meeting a Success!

We had a successful and productive ROS-Industrial Consortium (RIC) kickoff meeting on March 6^thand 7^th with 25 people representing 14 organizations in attendance. We have posted a brief review of the meeting here. The presentations from the March 6^th RIC Open House have been uploaded to our YouTube channel: ROS-I Consortium. The contents of the March 7^th Member’s meeting are posted on the RIC member’s portal, for those who have joined.

You might be wondering what the next Consortium event will be. We are planning a ROS-Industrial training class that will take place at SwRI June 4^th -6^th. Save the date! It will provide a hands-on introduction to ROS and MoveIt!, and will culminate with hardware integration exercises with live industrial robots and peripherals. It is free for Associate/Full Consortium members (up to three free attendees per organization), and is otherwise $2250/person for non-members or academic/government members. You are welcome to join the Consortium at any time, which is a better value if multiple people attend training from the same organization. We will send out a class registration announcement in the next couple weeks.
