What's New?

Autonomous Robots special issue
I'm co-editing a special issue of Autonomous Robots on Open Source Software-Supported Robotics Research. Submissions should include a link to the open-source software used to produce the results reported in the paper. We will be reviewing both the technical content of the paper and the code. Get the official call for papers here. [26 January, 2012]

I'm writing a book!
I just finalized a contract with O'Reilly to write a book tentatively called "Programming Robots with ROS", with Brian Gerkey and Ken Conley from Willow Garage. If all goes well, it should ship by the end of 2012. [16 December, 2011]
