Robotics stands at the forefront of technological advancement. It has had a great impact on both industries and our day-to-day lives, and with the recent advancements in AI technology, robotics will only get more important. Open source principles have been instrumental in driving progress in various fields, and it is true for robotics as well. A lot of software used in the field is open source, for example, ROS (Robot Operating System) and Gazebo etc.

Linux distros like Ubuntu and Fedora have already established themselves as well known players in the robotics community. However, there is unique opportunity for openSUSE to carve its niche in this domain. This talk aims to explore this opportunity and outline a roadmap for building a robotic ecosystem with openSUSE. Drawing inspiration from existing initiatives such as Ubuntu's Robotics community and Fedora's Robotics Suite, I will propose ways to enhance openSUSE's relevance in the landscape. This includes the creation of specialized packages optimized for robotics applications, establishing partnerships with universities and research institutions to promote openSUSE adoption, and make a vibrant community of robotics enthusiasts and developers.

Attendees can expect to gain insights into the pivotal role of open source in robotics and practical steps to advance openSUSE as a preferred platform. Whether you're a developer, student, or simply intrigued by technology and open source, this talk offers a vision for an innovative robotic future with openSUSE.
