D, taking a picture of the room: “Thank you! There’s my proof to my company for why we use #ROS and #OpenSource.”

Now _that_ is an effective way to show the power of community. 💪

The enthusiasm Deanna Hood (Vexev) shows for how #OpenRobotics & #OpenSource helps them develop real-time vascular mapping to save lives is inspiring.

I wish everyone had the chance to be this excited about their work.

This weeks Bitcraze blogpost is about #Diversity in Robotic and at Bitcraze by @k_n_mcguire: https://www.bitcraze.io/2024/03/diversity-scholarship-roscon-2024/

This year are helping with the #ROSCon diversity scholarship https://discourse.ros.org/t/announcing-roscon-2024-in-odense-denmark-diversity-scholarships/36107

This is a less technical topic than usual for us for use but not less important and is something we have been trying to keep an eye on over the years. We are happy to be able to help a bit more improving diversity in open robotic.

BehaviorTree.CPP 4.0 looks pretty cool: https://vimeo.com/showcase/9954564/video/767160437
It should allow writing much clearer #behaviortrees, and it is intended to be used for ROS 2 #robots.
