Founding ROS Community in Tunisia
In September 2017, we founded ROS Community in Tunisia. Special thanks for the invitation of IIT of Sfax to provide a seminar on Robot Operating System (ROS) to different researchers and students from IIT and ENIS. We created a Google Group for ROS Tunisia Community, and all ROS-interested people in Tunisia are invited to join. There is a possibility to establish collaboration between Tunisian researchers and Gaitech Robotics in China for ROS experts in Tunisia.
