genuinely, nvidia pisses me off SO much that I am willing to entirely switch platforms from this shit. is there any alternative to a nvidia jetson for using with ros for robotics-type applications? (example) I need hardware acceleration because I'm going to be:

• doing SLAM on LiDAR data & several video streams (using RTAB-Map)
• running some ML models on the video streams
• hardware encoding of video streams (some of this has already been offloaded to dedicated devices, however I'm still going to need to do it for some other streams which don't use those devices)

willing to use something that isn't as dedicated to open source, so long as it's reasonably supported.
bonus points for open source, though

In yesterday’s panel I asked the #OpenRobotics board of directors how the org might respond if faced with a choice like @ThePSF made this week, rejecting a grant that banned #diversity work. Their response:

* OSRF is independent & beholden to no government for funding,
* Only the community tells us what to do, and
* Diversity is in our mission and we’d pursue it even if it weren’t.

The audience applauded (as they should, IMO).

It’s a great #OpenSource community.

It’s only workshop day and already there is an impressive number of attendees at #ROSCon2025. #OpenRobotics #OpenSource

Hello, Singapore! It’s lovely finally to make your acquaintance.

I’m looking forward to #OpenRobotics’ #ROSCon2025 starting on Monday and am grateful I gave myself a free day on the town tomorrow. 🇸🇬

Huge congrats to the #OpenRobotics community for today's #WorldTurtleDay release, #KiltedKaiju!

Now _that_ is an effective way to show the power of community. 💪

The enthusiasm Deanna Hood (Vexev) shows for how #OpenRobotics & #OpenSource helps them develop real-time vascular mapping to save lives is inspiring.

I wish everyone had the chance to be this excited about their work.

BehaviorTree.CPP 4.0 looks pretty cool: https://vimeo.com/showcase/9954564/video/767160437
It should allow writing much clearer #behaviortrees, and it is intended to be used for ROS 2 #robots.
