Programming ROS 2 with Rust

Discover how the Rust programming language and the ROS 2 framework are transforming robotics development in this talk. Everything can be found in this repository: https://github.com/roboticswithjulia/ros2_rust_workshop. Participants will dive into the fundamentals of the ROS2 Rust package: https://github.com/ros2-rust/ros2_rust.

The session will highlight Rust's performance and safety benefits, its integration with ROS 2 for robotic systems, and practical implementation techniques. Through guided exercises, attendees will learn how to program and control a quadruped robot using Rust within the ROS 2 framework, gaining insights into the challenges of robotic systems and how this powerful combination addresses them effectively.

This talk is ideal for developers looking to enhance their robotics expertise using a modern programming language and a robust middleware. Whether you're new to Rust, ROS 2, or seeking to deepen your robotics knowledge, this session offers a unique opportunity to build robust and efficient systems for the robots of tomorrow.
