JdeRobot

🌞🧑‍💻 JdeRobot is officially back for #GSoC 2026! Help us push the boundaries of open-source robotics in education and AI. From computer vision and drones to containerization, we have plenty of exciting projects ahead. ℹ️→ jderobot.github.io/activities/gso… #OpenSource #AI #Robotics

Google has granted 5 slots in GSoC-2026 to JdeRobot for developing open source projects on Robotics and AI summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2026/… 🚀. Thank you @GoogleOSS for your confidence and support😀. Congratulations to the selected candidates and welcome to your developer community!

Do you wanna learn a good collision avoidance algorithm for robots? Practice with the classic Dynamic Window Approach (DWA). It's now available at our Unibotics robot programming website unibotics.org, in Python (soon in C++ and direct ROS). youtu.be/0fsE49EijDc

We are launching the Unibotics Robot Programming Challenge📌 - Online asynchronous - Python - Free, just for fun - Based on ROS @rosorg and @GazeboSim Program a Formula1 car to follow the red line drawn in the floor along several race circuits🏎️. Rules at jderobot.github.io/activities/com…

WIP in our Unibotics robot programming website exploring O3DE simulator + Meta Quest3 Virtual Reality glasses for immersive robotics applications: youtu.be/QnwG3L8kJ4c Your source code drives the Formula1 car, you are in that car with the VR glasses, looking where you want 🚀

GSoC is such a great program and Stephanie works so hard to make it better every year.

📢 Time to meet the 2026 mentoring organizations for GSoC 2026‼️ Learn more about the 185 mentoring orgs and get started with the must application tips to be the next Contributor for GSoC 2026🚀 ➡️ Find the full blog here: goo.gle/gsoc2026-organ… #GSoC #OpenSource #GoogleSummerofCode #Techcommunities

¿Te gustaría programar tu propio robot desde el navegador? 🤖 José María Cañas Plaza (@JdeRobot) y Javier Izquierdo Hernández te enseñan cómo hacerlo con unibotics.org, usando Python o C++ sobre ROS y Gazebo. 📍 Online Workshops Míralo online 👉 nerdear.live #Nerdearla 🇪🇸

Great time at @rosconspain! We hosted a hands-on #Unibotics workshop showcasing the latest updates, including ROS 2 integration and C++ support. These features bring students even closer to real-world robotics. Thanks to everyone who joined us! 🤖 unibotics.org

🤖 ¡Último workshop del día en #ROSConES2025! 📍 Sala Dalí RoboticsAcademy + Unibotics ahora en #ROS2 👥 José María Cañas, David Pascual y Javier Izquierdo (@JdeRobot) 🕠 17:30–18:30 Aprende a usar estas potentes plataformas educativas para enseñar y experimentar con #ROS2 🧩

Our RoboticsAcademy (6.0) is available! New features: - the UI has been completely refactored - rviz2 added as debugging tool - 3+ new exercises: DeepLearning e2e visual control of a racing car, drone power tower inspection, Digital Image Processing.... youtube.com/watch?v=2k4UNw…

🚀 Amazing job from Javier Izquierdo on Google Summer of Code 2025 @GoogleOSS. He improved BT Studio with a new user interface and an improved the subtree library. Blog: theroboticsclub.github.io/gsoc2025-Javie… BT Studio x GSoC: youtu.be/c9bH-NypQuU?si…

🚀 Congrats to Sakhineti Praveena on completing her #GSoC project! She boosted DetectionMetrics with object detection (COCO+mAP), a Streamlit GUI, and CI for testing & docs, making it faster and more user-friendly 🙌 📘 Blog: theroboticsclub.github.io/gsoc2025-Sakhi… youtu.be/_6yUchWWOtY?fe…

"Amazon Robotics, the largest robotics developer in the world, having deployed more than 1 million robots, never adopted the service internally, according to multiple sources" therobotreport.com/aws-robomaker-…

Amazing job from @m_s_kabir on Google Summer of Code 2025🚀@GoogleOSS . With @GazeboSim @rosorg and @PyTorch a Formula1 car completes a lap to a race circuit following a red line. A trained neural network for e2e visual robot control makes the magic 😎 youtu.be/L34ez-myYsY

Congratulations to Astha Sahu for your successful internship at JdeRobot!!!🤖. She has updated the Car Junction exercise in our RoboticsAcademy to @GazeboSim Harmonic developing an autonomous car model with Ackermann dynamics, camera and 3D lidar sensor youtube.com/watch?v=VBmhHa…

We are excited to be among the very first groups selected by @NVIDIARobotics to test the new @NVIDIA #Thor. We have managed to run a #VisionLanguageModel (Qwen 2.5 VL) for semantic understanding of the environment, along with a monocular depth model (#DepthAnything v2), for safe autonomous navigation, all onboard. No cloud, no internet connection required! The video shows a simple result obtained in just two weeks of work. Kudos to Leonard Bauersfeld Jiaxu Xing Ismail Geles Yannick Armati for making this possible! #ComputerVision #Robotics @UZH_en @UZHspacehub @uzh_ifi @ERC_Research

We're excited to welcome @Canonical to the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA) as a Platinum member! 🧡🧡🧡 A foundational supporter of #ROS from the beginning, we look forward to working together to build a more secure and durable robotics ecosystem. canonical.com/blog/OSRA-memb…

Congratulations @Ashish_Ramesh03 for your successful GSoC2025 project @GoogleOSS with us🚀! JdeRobot RoboticsAcademy now fully supports pure #ROS2 solutions (topics for sensors, actuators and GUI, frequency control with rclpy.spin) theroboticsclub.github.io/gsoc2025-Ashis… youtu.be/Ymt8XVFyciY

Robotics simulation is vital. The best-of-robot-simulator list with a 140 projects makes the choice easier for developers, but does it? hackster.io/news/robotic-s…
