ROS Lyrical adds 40 new packages and 101 updates in June 2026 sync
CANopen industrial communication, motion planning, and RTSP image transport land in ROS Lyrical
The ROS Lyrical distribution just got a major refresh with the June 8, 2026 package sync, bringing 40 entirely new packages and 101 updates to Ubuntu Resolute (amd64). Key newcomers include the canopen stack (0.3.4) providing CANopen communication for industrial robotics, the roboplan motion planning library (0.4.0) with RRT and simple IK solvers, and rosidlcpp (0.6.0) — a full IDL compiler suite supporting C, C++, Python, and FastRTPS type support. Also new are the rc_genicam driver (0.4.0-3) for machine vision cameras, motion-capture-tracking (1.0.8), NovAtel GPS driver (4.3.0), and an rtsp-image-transport package (2.0.2) for streaming video over RTSP.
On the update side, 101 packages received improvements. Notable updates include Foxglove Bridge (3.2.6 → 3.4.1) and Foxglove MSGs (3.4.1) for better real-time robotics visualization, the diagnostics suite (4.4.7) with updates to aggregator and remote logging, camera-calibration-parsers and image-transport (6.4.9), and the Leo rover bringup and filters (2.6.1). Also updated are the canopen interfaces and utils, eigenpy (3.13.0), fastcdr (2.3.6), and the marti message set. These updates give ROS Lyrical users more reliable tools for perception, localization, and hardware integration — critical for production-grade robotics deployments.
