Tune in on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024 (9:00 AM EST / 3:00 PM CET) for a new Zephyr Tech Talk live stream, where Benjamin Cabé will be joined by Dave Rensberger from Beechwoods Software Inc, to talk about all things robotics and Zephyr.

ROS 2 is a very popular open source robotics framework which enables building and orchestration of very complex robotics systems. In this Tech Talk, we’ll dive into micro-ROS, a microcontroller-optimized client API for ROS 2 which offers even more intelligence into the low-power sensors that may be part of a robotics application.

The Beechwoods team has recently looked into using micro-ROS on Zephyr and will highlight quite a few neat Zephyr features. We’ll look at the Raspberry Pi Pico W specifically, from how to use PIO/SPI to interface with sensors, to a preview of upcoming Wi-Fi support, to integration as part of a complete ROS 2 setup, with a Linux-based agent in charge of the higher-level processing.
