It is the venue for ROS developers of all levels, beginner to expert, to spend an extrordinary two days learning from and networking with the ROS community. For this, we’re calling for your contributions! The core of the conference is (and always has been) content from the community, and this year, we’re looking for proposals for three different types of content: Workshops: As in 2023, we will offer workshops on Day 0 of the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide space for participatory/interactive experiences between the presenter(s) and the attendees and the chance to go more in depth into a subject than a regular talk could allow. Talks: The standard presentation format is the talk, with the presenter(s) talking live about a specific topic, with a brief question period at the end, fitting into a 10, 20 or 30 minute time slot. We are also planning panels, keynote speakers and of course, lightning talks. The conference program will be a combination of single-track and double-track sessions. Please note that, as last year, will be fully in-person, and remote presentations will not be considered. General Content Guidelines: All topics related to ROS and ROS 2 are invited. Example topics include: New packages / frameworks Insights / improvements for existing packages Case studies on unique ROS deployments / use cases Developments for specific robots, sensors, platforms Competitions / collaborations / initiatives ROS in commercial / research / teaching environments Standards / best practices / development tools To get an idea of the content and tone of ROSCon, check out the slides and videos from previous years. We cannot offer content that is not proposed! If there is a topic on which you would like to present, please propose it. If you have an idea for an important topic that you do not want to present yourself, please post it for discussion on ROS Discourse . Review Criteria All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee to evaluate: Relevance to the ROS Community - The proposed content should use ROS in a substantial way, but beyond that, the work must also be relevant and compelling to a general ROS audience. Writing a ROS driver for a specific piece of hardware is an excellent contribution to the community, but describing the intricacies of its firmware may not be relevant to this audience. Furthermore, content should be relevant to a global and diverse community. Quality of Content/Impact - We encourage proposals to contain big ideas with high impact. Proposals should have a demonstrable quality as opposed to being purely theoretical. Quality of Presentation - Articulating your ideas clearly and grammatically is a key prerequisite for giving a compelling live presentation. Originality/Novelty - Content should be original and not something that has already been heard before. Will this be the 41st talk on a particular topic at ROSCon? Or are you presenting something new? Open Source Availability - Because we are an open-source community, proposals for which the underlying code and other content is available under an open source license have a greater chance of being accepted. It is not a hard requirement, but proposals focused on proprietary systems should contribute...
