Here is your #ROS and open source robotics news for the week of June 8th, 2026:
🚀ROS Meetup @AutomateShow
🚀ROSCon Global 2026 talk schedule released
🚀New ROSCon Italy this November in Bologna
🚀@opencvlive 5 drops: better, faster, more AI
🚀@NASA Space Robotics Challenge
⬇️⬇️
The @GazeboSim team is happy to announce a new rolling release code-named Gazebo Rotary.
Gazebo Rotary is built nightly from the bleeding edge of our repos and it is intended to be used a tool for core developers.
⚠️Rotary is not intended for production applications.

Just shipped @rosorg based devcontainer support for the Artemis Mission Simulator 🌕!
Check it out:
Merged PR: github.com/jasmeet0915/artem…
Repo: github.com/jasmeet0915/artem…
The project now supports 2 development workflows:
1️⃣ One-click setup with VSCode's devcontainers.
2️⃣ Manually build and run the docker dev container using the helper scripts.
Weekly Robotics 363:
🤖 a benchmark for humanoids,
🤖 robotics as a pre-paradigm field,
🤖 kilometer-scale navigation for UAVs without GNSS,
🤖 autonomous mapping with VSLAM using a cheap rover,
🤖 how I was close to destroying my 3D printer,
and more!

The OpenCV 5 launch has made OpenCV the #4 trending repository on GitHub today! If you haven’t given us a star, hop over and smash that button. Help us get a leg up on those scallywags at @roboflow 😂

SLAM test in the lobby of the ICRA 2026 venue.
Wide-open spaces. Glass reflections. Continuous foot traffic.
Insight 9 maintained stable tracking.
Running pure VIO with NO loop closure, it achieved near-zero drift while generating a colorful 3D point cloud in real time.
💡Note: All VSLAM & depth compute runs on-board & streams via ROS! Laptop is ONLY for registration & visualization, no extra ICP or BA.

Part 6 of my #ReinforcementLearning math series is live! Dynamic Programming iteratively solves the Bellman optimality equations, but requires knowing the environment dynamics in advance.

Locked in today and started working again from scratch on getting EVA mapping. Decided to go with Google cartographer instead of slam toolbox. Look at that clean point cloud

Quick ROS tip: When managing complex robot systems, structure your launch files for modularity. Group related nodes and use includes. It makes debugging easier & scales better from dev to deployment. Essential for robust #Robotics. #ROS#Programming
I want to offer some unsolicited advice to computer vision researchers jumping into robotics. Don't focus too much on VLMs, VLAs etc. That's fine, but the real action is at the sensorimotor level. Most of the open problems in robotics are in manipulation, which is about hand-object interaction, and contacts and forces are central. Proprioception and tactile sensing are as important as vision. Don't get seduced by cherry-picked demos. You can't do robotics without doing robotics.
Not only is he a #BuffPupper, but he's getting #Jazzy inside! 🕺
🐶Upgrading Mini Pupper 2 from ROS 2 Humble ➡️ Jazzy! New LTS, smoother dancing, absolute powerhouse. 💪⚡️
