Open Robotics Expands Global Events, Plans for 2027

⚡Robotics conferences near you could shape the future of automation.

Deep Dive

Open Robotics has ROSCon China and UK this week, with Singapore, Spain, and Italy in the next couple of weeks; the team asks attendees to seek out its reps. Preparations for this week’s TGC meeting included drafting documents about funding, gen-AI usage, and the future of SIG-PAI, with minutes to land later on Discourse.

Open Robotics is already coordinating regional ROSCons for 2027 and invites more communities to join. The leadership team is leaning into Asana for planning and task tracking, and an existential project outline is evolving into draft documents for policies and procedures for bringing new projects into Open Robotics. The team has also been talking with some OSRA members about great stuff coming in the next couple of weeks.

Key Points
  • Open Robotics is hosting ROSCon events in multiple countries, making robotics knowledge more accessible worldwide.
  • They're using Asana to better manage projects, which should lead to more reliable robotics software.
  • New policies for adding projects will help the robotics community grow and innovate faster.

Why It Matters

More robotics events and better organization mean faster innovation, leading to smarter robots in homes and workplaces.
