Details of the speakers:

• [ENG] Robotic deployment with Ubuntu- Guillaume Beuzeboc - Canonical, the company distributing Ubuntu, is offering a broad portfolio of trusted open source solutions. The solutions are covering a wide spectrum of fields, from Cloud infrastructure to edge devices.
• The robotics team at Canonical is focusing on integrating these solutions with ROS and robotics applications in general.
• In the presentation, we will overview some of these solutions such as: snaps, Ubuntu Core, ROS Expanded Security Maintenance, observability and then explore more in depth two topics:
• Snaps, the containers that bundle an application and all its dependencies, offering roboticists: strict confinement, reliability, OTA updates and updates management.
• Colcon in-container, a colcon verb extension to build, test and release packages inside a fresh and isolated ROS environment and transfer the results back to the host.
• About the speaker: Guillaume Beuzeboc is a robotics engineer at Canonical. After an engineering degree in robotics covering all the fields from mechanical engineering to AI, Guillaume specialized over his professional experiences in Open Source technologies and software for robotics.
• [ENG] How to send a robot to the Moon? - Jan Brzyk, Szymon Bednorz - Let’s talk about lunar exploration!
• Join Jan and Szymon, co-founders of CleverHive Space, as they dive into the unique challenges of lunar robotics. From extreme environmental conditions to the complexities of remote robot operation, we’ll explore the key technical and logistical hurdles in developing robotic systems for the Moon. Discover how CleverHive Space is tackling these challenges, how they relate to terrestrial robotics, and where Poland stands in the global space industry.
