June 19, 2021 • VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
The Only Practice-Based Conference about Robot Programming with ROS in the World REGISTER NOW2020 recapWelcome to
ROSDevDay21
ROS Developers Day is an annual hands-on robot programming online event for ROS developers worldwide. This virtual conference aims to connect ROS developers from around the world to Practice, Learn, and Share the latest ROS applications together in real-time, regardless of geographical limitations.
Unlike the normal slideshow-type conference, this is a hands-on event with a focus on practice. Every attendee will program the robot and reproduce the ROS projects’ results together in real-time while following the speakers’ demonstrations.


What you can expect
You’ll walk away with practical knowledge and action steps in order to use your ROS force to power the world’s robots!


12h of
Hands-on ROS
You’ll get a ready-to-run ROS project (rosject) provided by each speaker. With the rosjects, you’ll be able to launch the robot simulations, access the projects’ code, start developing control algorithms… in real-time on any type of computer while the speakers are presenting, and without any previous setup on your side.
Learn from Top
ROS Developers
We will select 10 robotics experts from top universities and companies, who are also pioneering ROS Developers with years of experience in using ROS. You will have the opportunity to “touch” and experience their fascinating ROS projects.



Connect the
ROS World
This is the event for our ROS Developers! Talk, program… and connect with other ROS Developers from all over the world. Not only will there be tons of great ROS content, but also a chance to work together to power the world’s robots!

Please send your proposal with the above information to tutorials@rosdevday.com.
If your tutorial is accepted
You will have to prepare a rosject containing the following material (We will assign you an engineer to support you in creating the rosject):
- A notebook with the tutorial
- Package with pre-defined code for participants (reference: how to create a rosject)
The proposals we accepted in the past came from Clarkson University, University Rey Juan Carlos, Sony Corporation, Open Robotics, PAL Robotics, etc.
