The Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering of the UPV has opened the call for proposals for ROSCon Spain 2026. This event focuses on the ROS operating system and robotics, offering talks, workshops, and demonstrations. The goal is to strengthen collaboration among developers, enthusiasts, and professionals. The registration deadline is coming up soon, so it's best to hurry if you have something to share.
ROS, the glue that binds robotic hardware and software 🤖
ROS is not a traditional operating system, but a framework that facilitates communication between nodes, sensors, and actuators. At ROSCon Spain 2026, technical proposals on autonomous navigation, manipulation, or integration with simulators like Gazebo are expected. Attendees will be able to share packages, libraries, and practical cases. Whether you work with mobile robots or articulated arms, this is a place to showcase your code and receive direct feedback.
How to survive a live demo without the robot hating you 😅
Presenting a demonstration at ROSCon is an experience that can go from sublime to tragic in seconds. You've spent weeks calibrating sensors, but on the day of the event, the robot decides to ignore the topics and crash into a chair. No problem: the audience understands that robotics is like that. The important thing is to have a plan B, a laptop with logs, and a smile. In the end, everyone will remember your epic failure more than your perfect talk.
