Julien Enoch, a Senior Solutions Architect at ZettaScale Technology and Eclipse Zenoh committer, joined our meeting on 4th November 2024. He gave a talk on Eclipse Zenoh, a protocol which can run everywhere, from micro-controllers to the Cloud; over TCP, UDP, QUIC, and Websockets. Zenoh provides a software router that can be deployed in any Cloud instance such as AWS EC2, and that can route the protocol between different subsystems.

Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2​

Kaiyuan Eric Chen, a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and a member of Berkeley Automation Lab working closely with Ken Goldberg and Jeffrey Ichnowski, joined our meeting on 2024-10-07. He gave a talk titled "Enabling Usable and Reliable Cloud Robotics with FogROS2". He then answered questions on the talk and on FogROS2, a state-of-the-art open source cloud robotics framework that offloads unmodified ROS2 applications to the cloud.
