Building a ROS2 node in Rust!
· 7 min read
This post shows how to build a Robot Operating System 2 node using Rust, a systems programming language built for safety, security, and performance. In the post, I'll tell you about Rust - the programming language, not the video game! I'll tell you why I think it's useful in general, then specifically in robotics, and finally show you how to run a ROS2 node written entirely in Rust that will send messages to AWS IoT Core.
