And now remind yourself that there are self driving cars out there and autonomous digging equipment that is based on ROS, which doesn't have any plan or intent to move to python 3.
Fun stuff...
- bootloop 7y agoWell the ROS wiki says otherwise: http://wiki.ros.org/UsingPython3 http://wiki.ros.org/UsingPython3
- j-pb 7y agoYeah but the general consensus for the core stuff seems to be "we'll do that with 2.0", which at this point seems to materialize since forever aka. vaporware...
- carlmr 7y agoIs ROS used in production for this? I've only seen it used for prototyping.
- j-pb 7y agoYeah, Built Robotics[1] apparently does, at least according to their hiring page. And I think Audi is using it for their self driving cars... https://www.builtrobotics.com/ https://www.builtrobotics.com/
- carlmr 7y agoI mean hiring page doesn't mean they actually use it in the product. You can use ROS for designing the system, but in terms of performance it has issues if you try to use it in an embedded context. I still kind of doubt they have it running in their product.
- j-pb 7y agoMakeshift solutions last the longest, I'd highly doubt that they run 2 messaging systems side by side, thats just unrealistic for a startup. Especially considering that ROS is very invasive with it's MSG format and build tooling.
- Ardren 7y agoROS 1.1 (next release) will target Python3 only. https://discourse.ros.org/t/versioning-roadmap-moveit-1-0-release-plan/7437 https://discourse.ros.org/t/versioning-roadmap-moveit-1-0-re...
- j-pb 7y agoThats not true, you're referencing the ROS wiki page of the MoveIt! Planning package, which has nothing to do with ROS other than using it. Widespread Python3 adoption is planned for ROS 2 which has been vaporware for the last 3 years.
