I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS developers out there who are thinking and worrying about the future of ROS. If you are worried about whether ROS will become irrelevant in the future or if all the companies building humanoid robots will replace ROS, then this episode is dedicated to you!Before diving in, let me introduce BotBox, an All-in-one Robotics Platform for Teaching. It’s a Lab-in-a-Box for robotics education, enabling you to deliver hands-on robotics classes with ease. Mofe Info: https://www.theconstruct.ai/botbox-warehouse-lab/











Now let’s go to the meat of the episode. Let me introduce you to Ryan Gariepy, who is the CTO of Clearpath Robotics and OTTO Motors. He is also the co-chair of the Canadian Robotics Council and a member of the Board of Directors of Open Robotics. Ryan is going to address all doubts regarding what the Open Source Robotics Alliance is.Welcome to the podcast Ryan!
