ROS By-The-Bay January 2025

ROS By-The-Bay is the Bay Area's only meetup exclusively for Robot Operating System (ROS) users. This month we'll have two speakers, a ROSCon, and plenty of time to chat with your fellow developers. Whether your just starting to learn about robotics, or a seasoned industry veteran, ROS By-The-Bay is a great event for connecting with other local roboticists.

After a summer conference hiatus we're back! Please note that we're back to meeting in our old location 250 Mayfield Ave. 250 Mayfield is the annex building next to the main Google X building at 100 Mayfield Ave.

Our speakers this month will include:

• Yadunund Vijay, a senior software engineer at Intrinsic, who will be speaking about the recent release of binaries for the ROS 2 Zenoh RMW layer and our roadmap for ROS 2 Kilted Kaiju.
• Tomoya Fujita, a senior staff engineer at Sony RDC US, who will speak on an alternative ROS logging backend called, "rcl_logging_syslog." RCL Logging Syslog uses SYSLOG(3) to send the log data to rsyslog (a.k.a rocket-fast system for log processing) to enable a ROS 2 logging system with cloud-native log management and observability.
