ROSCon is the flagship 3-day annual conference for the Rob ot Operating System (ROS) project\, hosted by the Open Source Robotics Fou ndation. This conference provides the community with an opportunity to dis cuss the project roadmap and new developments in the ROS ecosystem and to share interesting work using ROS across a variety of robotics fields. We'l l share highlights from the conference as well as an overview of the spons or workshop we presented about the ROS-based Scan-N-Plan framework maintai ned by SwRI through ROS-Industrial.\n\nScan-N-Plan is a suite of tools tha t enable real-time robot trajectory planning from 3D scan data. Traditiona l industrial robot programming is performed using either online\, teach-pe ndant programming or offline programming with a simulated version of the r obot and work piece. The Scan-N-Plan approach overcomes limitations in tra ditional robot programming for applications that have highly variable part mixes such that hand programming is impractical or do not have CAD part m odels available.\n\nSpeaker(s): Michael Ripperger\, \n\nAgenda: \n11:30: L unch and Networking time\n\n11:45: Virtual meeting will be opened (with ti me to troubleshoot any technical glitches)\n\n11:55: Program Begins with b rief remarks related to IEEE/RAS\n\n12:00: Main Presentation begins\n\n12: 45: Questions\n\n1:00: Meeting Ends\n\nBldg: SwRI Cafeteria\, 145 Tom Slic k Ave\, San Antonio\, Texas\, United States\, 78238\, Virtual: https://eve nts.vtools.ieee.org/m/524773 LOCATION:Bldg: SwRI Cafeteria\, 145 Tom Slick Ave\, San Antonio\, Texas\, U nited States\, 78238\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/524773 ORGANIZER:kriskozak@ieee.org SEQUENCE:31 SUMMARY:Highlights from ROSCon 2025 and Scan-N-Plan Overview URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/524773 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div style="font-family: Aptos\,Aptos_Embedde dFont\,Aptos_MSFontService\,Calibri\,Helvetica\,sans-serif\; font-size: 12 pt\; color: rgb(0\,0\,0)\;"><span style="font-weight: 500\;"><em>Michael R ipperger will reprise the talk he gave at ROSCon 2025 on Scan-N-Plan.
