This week on IoT Happy Hour, we are going to take a look at running ROS (Robot Operating System) in a container on a balena device. You'll learn how easy it is to get started with our sample repos!

* Ros2 foxy base: github.com/balena-io-examples/balena-ros2-foxy-base

* Ros2 foxy desktop: github.com/balena-io-examples/balena-ros2-foxy-desktop

* Ros2 pose estimation project for a Jetson Nano: github.com/balena-io-examples/balena-ros2-CUDA-trt-pose-estimation
