The technology centre took part as a sponsor in the event held in Valencia and presented its experience in the use of ROS in applied R&D projects.
Leitat took part in ROSCon 2026, held in Valencia, an event focused on the ROS (Robot Operating System) ecosystem and on knowledge exchange among professionals, developers, researchers and organisations working in the field of robotics.
In addition to participating as a sponsor, César Gutiérrez, a member of Leitat’s Robotics team, delivered the presentation “ROS in applied R&D: lessons from industrial, mobile and humanoid projects”, in which he shared insights gained from applying these technologies across different research and technological development contexts.
Leitat’s participation reflects its commitment to open-source ecosystems as a tool to foster collaboration, accelerate technological development and facilitate its transfer into industrial applications.
In this context, Manuel Vinagre, Head of Robotics at Leitat, highlights the value of communities such as ROS in connecting research capabilities, shared knowledge and real industry needs.
ROSCon also provided an opportunity to exchange experiences with other players in the ecosystem and learn about new developments around ROS and ROS 2, strengthening collaboration between research, the technology community and industry.
Leitat would like to thank Francisco Blanes, from the ai2 Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València; Roberto Guzmán, from Robotnik; and the entire organising team for their work in continuing to strengthen this collaborative space around robotics.
