For third time in a row we attended ROSCon, this year held in beautiful Vancouver.
\nOur goals besides seeing the newest trends in the ROS and Robotics universe first hand, and finding some new robotic hardware directly from manufacturers, was to support our partners from Rapyuta Robotics (RR) in presenting and performing a demo of the first preview of their upcoming Cloud Robotics Platform.<\/p>\n

ROSCon is steadily growing in each edition. This year almost 500 people attended the conference.
\nFor Rapyuta Robotics this was a good opportunity to showcase the capabilities of their upcoming Cloud Robotics Platform (PaaS). We helped them setting up their booth and getting in touch with some visitors to explain the ideas behind the platform. The visitors were especially interested in the packaging and deployment, device management and orchestration functionalities that the PaaS will offer.
\nWe are confident they succeeded in showing the potential of their product and gather a sizable set of early adopters for their Early Developer Program.<\/a><\/p>\n
