About us
Bay area meetup group for Robot Operating System (ROS) users.
ROS is an open source set of software libraries and tools that help you build robot applications. Meetups will focus on talks about ROS, Gazebo, and other elements of the ROS ecosystem. Topics can range anywhere from core development to research projects to product development.
If you want to share your experiences with ROS or come listen and discuss, this is the group for you!

Featured event
ROS By-The-Bay NVIDIA GTC Special Edition
ROS By-The-Bay is the Bay Area's only meetup exclusively for Robot Operating System (ROS) users!
We're holding a special edition of ROS By-The-Bay as an after-party for NVIDIA GTC in colaboration with Silicon Valley Robotics. We're hoping to cross-pollinate our local ROS community with visitors from NVIDIA's premier developer conference, GTC.
We're also moving locations to accommodate more guests and live demos from Solo Tech's Physical AI Meetup! We'll be meeting at Circuit Launch in Mountain View from 6-9pm on Wednesday, March 18th.
Our guest speakers and events for this meetup include:
- Angus Pacala, CEO of Ouster, and Ussama Naal, a senior staff engineer at Ouster. Ouster manufactures LIDAR systems used in a variety of robotics applications and Ouster recently completed an acquisition of depth camera manufacturer Stereolabs. Angus and Ussama will provide an overview of Ouster and Stereolabs products and their future roadmap. They will also discuss their open-source tooling and support for ROS and how this all relates back to physical AI.
- Dhruv Diddi, CEO of Solo Tech, and members of his Physical AI Meetup will be present. Dhruv recently organized a massive physical AI hackathon in San Francisco, and a number of the hackathon participants will be on hand to show off their winning projects.
- Jaime Machuca, perception lead for the Toro Company will discuss how Toro is using ROS in production with their autonomous lawn mowers and his personal work on a replica Disney BDX robot.
- Tours of the Circuit Launch, a hardware and robotics focused co-working facility located in Oakland and Mountain View.
- More speakers are on the way; stay tuned!
Pizza and beverages will be provided. Free parking will be available! The location is easily accessible from the 101 and regional transit.
