[Alan Timm]

Our Monthly Meetup @ CSULB!

Please join us this Saturday May 11th at 10:00am for our next *in person* Meetup!

​
We're at Cal State Long Beach, 1331 Palo Verde Ave., Long Beach CA  90815  Conference Room 103.

Here's what's on the agenda...

9:30 am:  The Doors open.  Stop by early and say hi!  Or log in early to make sure your mic works.  We'll be here.

9:45 am:  Business meeting

10:00 am:​  Join us for an exciting update on the Alfie Project, including how to leverage ROS2 Humble for systems integration. We'll take a look at Alfie's block diagram, custom messages, and serial bandwidth management strategies. Then we'll dive into safety considerations for a mobile manipulator platform. Don't miss out on this in-depth exploration of how cutting-edge technology is shaping the future! ( Alan )

11:00 am:​  This year we had two Robomagellan participants!

First, Brian kicks things off with strategy discussion for RoboMagellan cone following, laying out his key tactics and strategy.  Cone identification and localization is a key component of the competition.

Then, Jim will guide us through an exciting exploration of ROS 2 integration with MicroROS on the Teensy, demonstrating its coordination with an IMU and fine-tuning for an Ackermann steered robot.

This session will be packed with actionable insights and cutting-edge techniques that you won't want to miss! ( Brian, Jim )

12:00 pm:  Show-n-Tell / Open Session.  It's a great opportunity to get caught up on our members' projects and what we've been up to.  Are you working on something?  Bring it in!

For anyone unable to attend in person, here's the Zoom info for this Saturday's meeting.
