RoboStack

Anyone still using ROS 1? Would love to talk how Pixi & @RoboStack can help you upgrade your base distribution while still supporting good old ROS Noetic.

Want to start using #Pixi for #ROS development? Use pixi-ros!

In 2 hours on Twitch I'll show nanoquadcopters fly in Gazebo Ionic and ROS 2 Kilted, on Windows 11 with WSL2, and Pixi for the native ROS2 install. See you there ? twitch.tv/indierobot/schedul… #ros #gazebo #robotics #aerialrobotics #simulation #windows

Amazing blog post about using Pixi for #ROS 2 on Windows. We're happy about the shoutout – that's the kind of complex setup that we want to make extremely easy with Pixi. cc @OpenRoboticsOrg

I just tried to run my @marimo_io app which extracts data from a MCAP rosbag and saves it on the disk. To keep the dependencies nice and tidy, I use pixi @prefix_dev with @RoboStack. Now, I can run the app on a computer that does not have ROS!

Got a steamdeck to play games, obvious first test was to install @GazeboSim and @rosorg using #pixi. Can't stress enough how easy that was thanks to @RoboStack

Here's my conversation with Wolf Vollprecht (@wolfvollprecht) and Ruben Arts (@rarts_ruby) from @prefix_dev. They're tackling cross-platform headaches in robotics with Pixi, a powerful package manager that simplifies development environments. It's here on X and is also on YouTube. Since this episode is so demo heavy, I didn't put it on podcasting platforms. Find links in comment. I recommend listening on 1.5x.

Oh, yeah! ROS2 on macOS powered by RoboStack and Pixi 🔥

A bundling of the Robot Operating System (ROS) @RoboStack by Open Robotics uses @CirunHQ with GitHub Actions to run their arm pipeline and it's one hell of a pipeline with 31 stages and 80 jobs!

Here I am(or at least my URDF is) getting jerked around for your amusement :) HTH @RoboStack #JupyterLab #goros #darkmode
