Robots are a challenging combination of software, real-time services, perception, and mechanical motion control. Frameworks like the Robot Operating System (ROS) help coordinate these pieces. The panelists in this webinar will address these platforms as well as how it relates to hardware control and simulation environments.
Speakers
Joe Speed, VP of Product & Chief Evangelist, Apex.AI
Joe works on the Apex.OS that is a functionally safe ROS 2 distro to meet automaker and robot maker needs.
