Two regional ROS meetups took place in Germany in spring 2026: the first-ever ROS Meetup in Heilbronn (March) and the second ROS Meetup in Karlsruhe (May). Both events brought together developers, researchers, and students for technical talks, live demos, and networking. Topics covered included real-time control with ros2_control, MoveIt-based motion planning, humanoid robot controllers, reinforcement learning for mobile robots, LLM-controlled robots with formal safety guarantees, medical robotics, optimal inverse kinematics, Cartesian impedance control, and ROS-CNC integration for industrial applications like timber milling. The events were organized by Neobotix, TUM Campus Heilbronn, FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik, and Fraunhofer IPA.
