This month: Giovanni Beltrame! Dr. Beltrame is an associate professor at École Polytechnique de Montréal directing the MIST Laboratory. He will be giving a speech about ROS, Buzz (ROSBuzz) and ARGoS - all topics surrounding swarm robotics. Buzz is a language that MistLab formulated along with their ROS package for it.



ROS - The Robot Operating System is a framework of software tools and libraries for operating robots of all kinds, from mobile robots to arms, from custom built to commercial, it even runs in space! It has been gaining significant use in research and is now being adopted for industrial applications as well.



The ROS Edmonton users group is here to promote robotics in Edmonton, to exchange knowledge and expertise through teaching and workshops and create connections between academics, industry and hobbyists. All levels of interest and experience are welcome.



Next Month: An Artificial Intelligence speaker from the U of A.
