Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at ROSCon 2025 in Singapore! 🎤 My talk is on the past, present & future of PlanSys2, the ROS 2 standard for symbolic AI planning, used by companies, universities & even NASA in orbit 🚀 Long live PlanSys2!

I am very happy to share that my talk about #PlanSys2 has been accepted to be presented at #ROSCon2025 in Singapore 🤓

It is my first time presenting this project at a live ROSCon. Thanks to the #PlanSys2 contributors. This is also yours!!
Just sent my talk proposal about #PlanSys2 for the ROSCon 2025 at Singapur 🤞

Just received this amazing robotics book, written by a friend and a brilliant mind!
Thanks so much, Paco (@fmrico.bsky.social), for the gift and the inspiration.
Huge congrats on this achievement. The robotics community needs more work like this! 🤖📘

Un amigo me ha recomendado este libro para pasar estos días de verano 🤓

The second edition of my book will be released on the 4th of July.

The book, updated to rolling/kilted, includes two new chapters:

1) Deep ROS 2: Executors, execution model, callback groups and Real-Time.
2) Contributing to ROS 2 software (licenses, git, .)

I hope you like 🤓

I am on my way to Barcelona to participate in this MeetUp 🚄

@esteve.bsky.social is the only Spanish who participated in the creation of ROS2. It will be great to hear from him about the internals of this process.

I will talk about our projects at @IntellRobotLabs 🤓

It will be great!!

Really honored and proud of how many PhD and Master Thesis have been carried out in the last few years using PlanSys2 as the basis of their research 🤓

Today, we had an interesting discussion about my proposal for new Real-Time Executors at the #ROS2 Client Libraries Working Groups. It is not clear to add this functionality inside😕

Real-time is something critical that not all ROS users think about when developing their software

Manuscript sent to the editorial on time!! 🤓

I suppose it will be available in early Spring 🤞

I want to share the Git Cheatsheet I have prepared to include in the 2nd edition of my book, which I will deliver next week to the editorial.

It will probably be handy in general, particularly to the #ROS developers, as it covers the part of remotes.

Mail me for the PDF version 🤓
