Whether you’re starting in the lab or already in production, Canonical can help manage the complexity of the open-source software underpinning your robot’s brains and personality.
Developing robots is not like building apps or IoT devices. Robots balance complex features such as scene awareness, social intelligence, physical...
The Ubuntu in the wild blog post ropes in the latest highlights about Ubuntu and Canonical around the world on a bi-weekly basis.
In this post we will see how the Raspberry Pi Pico can natively speak to a ROS 2 graph using micro-ROS. We will set up a project in VSCode, compile and upload...
And that was February! A month where a rover showed what perseverance means and a small drone what ingenuity looks like. February will be remembered as the...
A new start? 2020 came and went, and in the process, it left a mark in history and our lives that won’t be erased. Together, as a community, we all struggled,...

Kubernetes and robotics make a great match. However, as we have seen, robots running ROS 2 can be tricky to set up on Kubernetes. This blog series has...
Kubernetes and ROS make a great match, but ROS2 can be tricky to set up. In this post we demonstrate a scalable system with MicroK8s on Ubuntu.
This post marks the one year anniversary of the Ubuntu Robotics newsletter: the place we showcase our work and discussing cool robotics happenings.
Come and connect with the Ubuntu robotics team on November 12th to answer all of your questions. This is the first time ROSCon has ever been virtual and is...
Construct a prototype ROS 2 system distributed across multiple computers using Kubernetes. Our goal is not only to provide you with a working configuration,...
The myriad of different fields that make up robotics makes QA practices difficult to settle on. Field testing is the go-to, since a functioning robot is often...
So that’s the summer gone (hopefully, that heat was awful). Or winter if that’s where you are. Seasons change and so does the state of robotics. Fortunately,...
ROS, the Robot Operating System, is the platform of choice for robot development. However, the breadth and depth of existing documentation can be daunting for...
The snapcraft CLI (the tool used to create snaps) has long had support for building snaps that use both ROS 1 and ROS 2. ROS 2 Foxy Fitzroy is the latest ROS...
We know a lot of you are on vacation so we’ll keep this month’s State of Robotics edition short and sweet. Try out the Hello World of ROS Looking for an easy...
