ROS leads the most innovating developments in the world of robotics, both in the area of academic research and in the developments made by the private sector in what has been called Industry 4.0. Rospy is the Python client library that will allow pythonistas and roboticists to quickly prototype and test their algorithms, letting them take advantage of the wonderful availability of Python modules for Computer Vision, Machine Learning, etc.

• Fun with Python and C++, by Jordi Montes (https://twitter.com/jomsdev)

English, ~30 minutes

ctypes is a foreign function library for Python. It provides C compatible data types, and allows calling functions from shared libraries. In this talk we will discuss how ctypes can be used to wrap C and C++ libraries in pure Python and when, if ever, is a good idea to do that.
