Robots in Depth with Dirk Thomas
In this episode of Robots in Depth, Per Sjöborg speaks with Dirk Thomas about his work with ROS at the OSR Foundation.
We hear about how programmers and roboticists can benefit from being part of and contributing to the open source community.
Dirk discusses the development of ROS and how it is being used both in academia and in commercial projects. He also shares his thoughts on the future development of ROS and how it can support advancements in robotics overall.
This interview was recorded in 2015.
