We revamped the RoboStack website! It looks a lot better now and shows you a lot more information. Also advertises @prefix_dev Pixi as preferred method for installation. Let us know what you think!

RoboStack retweeted
The Pixi team is at ROSCON in Toronto - come find the yellow backpacks if you want to chat! We keep spotting Pixi in so many cool robotics projects and it's making us proud. To get a glimpse of what we're working on, join the talk about the EU CRA this afternoon!

There is also another big rebuild of ROS Noetic going on right now! Amazing work by @sitraversaro @baszalmstra and @TobiasRobotics github.com/RoboStack/ros-noe…
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.

Very cool project!
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!

Silvio has been one of the main drivers of the RoboStack / and conda-forge robotics packaging. Be sure to check this out!

Awesome!
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

Awesome podcast by @audrow about RoboStack, @prefix_dev Pixi and our cross-platform efforts to package @rosorg for Windows, macOS and Linux as @condaproject packages (with help from @condaforge as well).
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.

There is also a new, robostack compatible package manager called pixi - makes it even more convenient: pixi.sh/latest/tutorials/ros…

Thank you for @CirunHQ – it's been working very well for us :)
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!

Check out @wuoulf's talk about "@RoboStack: cross-platform ROS packages for science and the cloud" at @rosorg #ROSWorld. Nice overview of what our tools enable you to do (ROS on #Windows, #Linux and #macOS, and more), and what our plans are for the future: vimeo.com/649654404

We just started to build out the first ROS Galactic packages for the Apple M1 chip and Linux-ARM64 (so you can run ROS2 on a Raspberry Pi or PinePhone easily!)
Stay tuned! @rosorg @OpenRoboticsOrg @GazeboSim
Builds running here: dev.azure.com/robostack/ros_…

We are excited to present on @RoboStack packages today at #ROSWorld! Looking forward to meet everyone!
