🚀 Very happy to announce that Rodrigo Pérez-Rodríguez and I have just signed with Taylor & Francis for the English publication of our Software Architectures for Robots book for the Software Robotics Engineering degree at URJC. The Spanish version will remain freely available.

🚀 Muy felices de anunciar que Rodrigo Pérez Rodríguez y yo acabamos de firmar con Taylor & Francis la publicación en inglés de nuestro libro de Arquitecturas Software para Robots para el Grado en Ingeniería en Robótica Software de la URJC. La versión en español seguirá libre.

Just sent our #EasyNav talk to #ROSCon2026 🚀 One year of development, early buzz at ROSCon Singapore, then ROSCon Spain 2025 & FOSDEM 2025. Next stop: global debut in Toronto. easynavigation.github.io

New paper accepted!! 🤓 🥂 Journal on Robotics (JCR Q2 IF:3.3) Title: LLM-Assisted Plan Execution for Robots in Dynamic Environments Authors: Juan Diego Peña-Narvaez *, Rodrigo Pérez-Rodríguez, Juan Carlos Manzanares, Francisco Miguel Moreno, Francisco Martín-Rico

This year, in our Software Architectures for Robots course at @RoboticaSw_URJC, we have created a comprehensive book. The motivation has been to provide a solid reference on a topic that has very limited existing literature English version coming soon @urjc.bsky.social #PassionForTeaching

Este año, en nuestra asignatura de Arquitecturas Software para Robots en el @RoboticaSw_URJC, hemos creado un gran libro de la asignatura La motivación ha sido proporcionar una referencia sólida sobre un tema que apenas cuenta con bibliografía #Docencia @urjc.bsky.social #PasionPorEnsenar

Make everything work in my container Ubuntu 24.04, inside Linux Bluefin for the tomorrow #Nav2 #SLAM tutorial with my students 🤓 at Robotics Software Engineering Degree at @urjc.bsky.social

Como los últimos años, ayer volví a ser invitado a impartir una clase en el prestigioso Máster Universitario en Automática y Robótica de la @upm.es , hablando sobre los sistemas de navegación que desarrollamos en el @IntellRobotLabs de la @urjc.bsky.social 🤓 www.industriales.upm.es/docencia/mas...

New education innovation paper from @urjc.bsky.social accepted at The 17th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE 2026) will be held at Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Campus Exer 11, in the historic town of Wolfenbüttel, Germany 🤓🥳

I have received the latest sales figures from Taylor & Francis for A Concise Introduction to Robot Programming with ROS 2: 344 copies were sold in the second half of 2025, a strong result for a specialized, non-low-cost title(4.5/5.0 rating on Amazon) tinyurl.com/3u9a8evm

New project, new laptop 😎 An ASUS Rog Zephyrus G16 Intel Core Ultra 9 64GB RAM 2 TB SSD and an RTX 5090. I installed Bluefin Linux, and I have ROS installed within a Docker container running Ubuntu 24.04 with Podman. Ready to hack!!! 🤓

On my way to Mullingar (Ireland) to give an invited keynote in an IEEE event related to @coresense 🤓 A short trip, because I have to return for my classes on Friday, and classes are sacred @urjc.bsky.social 😉

#EasyNav changes its License from GPLv3 to Apache 2.0!! 🚀 github.com/EasyNavigati...

Just finished my new personal website 🤓 fmrico.github.io

Next week, I will go to Mullingar (Ireland) to give a keynote at this IEEE conference about our work on robot navigation in our European project CoreSense 🤓 It is always a pleasure to visit such a beautiful country with good friends!! www.factoryxchange.ie/event-detail...

#FOSDEM26 Here we go!! Our Talk on saturday about #EasyNav is hot topic 🔥

In a couple of weeks, we will be at #FOSDEM presenting our navigation framework for #ROS2, #EasyNav fosdem.org/2026/schedul... in the Robotics and Simulation room fosdem.org/2026/schedul... We hope to meet you there!!

We are looking for good papers to get an outstanding collection 🤓 Consider publishing with us!!!

Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at ROSCon 2025 in Singapore! 🎤 My talk is on the past, present & future of PlanSys2, the ROS 2 standard for symbolic AI planning, used by companies, universities & even NASA in orbit 🚀 Long live PlanSys2!

I am very happy to share that my talk about #PlanSys2 has been accepted to be presented at #ROSCon2025 in Singapore 🤓 It is my first time presenting this project at a live ROSCon. Thanks to the #PlanSys2 contributors. This is also yours!!

Just received this amazing robotics book, written by a friend and a brilliant mind! Thanks so much, Paco (@fmrico.bsky.social), for the gift and the inspiration. Huge congrats on this achievement. The robotics community needs more work like this! 🤖📘

Un amigo me ha recomendado este libro para pasar estos días de verano 🤓

The second edition of my book will be released on the 4th of July. The book, updated to rolling/kilted, includes two new chapters: 1) Deep ROS 2: Executors, execution model, callback groups and Real-Time. 2) Contributing to ROS 2 software (licenses, git, .) I hope you like 🤓

En León para participar en la Escuela de Verano organizada dentro de nuestro proyecto DMARCE @intellroblaburjc.bsky.social

Last week I was in a great MeetUp at Barcelona with incredible people. one of them, Jonathan Cacace gave me his amazing new book. Thanks a lot!! 🤓

Just sent my talk proposal about #PlanSys2 for the ROSCon 2025 at Singapur 🤞 #ROSCon2025 #GoROS

I am on my way to Barcelona to participate in this MeetUp 🚄 @esteve.bsky.social is the only Spanish who participated in the creation of ROS2. It will be great to hear from him about the internals of this process. I will talk about our projects at @IntellRobotLabs 🤓 It will be great!!

The week will Start with a BANG! @fmrico.bsky.social will teach ROS 2 on the very first day!

Towards a robotic intrusion prevention system: Combining security and safety in cognitive social robots. @fmrico.bsky.social , @enriquesoriano.bsky.social , @jmguerreroh.bsky.social , Gorka Guardiola, @juancams.bsky.social and Francisco J Rodríguez L kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Testing kobuki robots before our first #ROS2 practical class at our Software Architectures for Robots course 🤓

Fresh out of the oven, our paper about Cascade LifeCycle Nodes from the #ROBOT2024 conference at @IEEEXplore ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/107...

Happy to participate in the Muhammad Luqman's podcast. We has a good time talking about Robótica, PlanSys2, ROS and more 🤖👨‍🔬👨‍🏫 Thanks for the invitation 🤓 youtu.be/ySlYOadz7U4?...

Really honored and proud of how many PhD and Master Thesis have been carried out in the last few years using PlanSys2 as the basis of their research 🤓 scholar.google.es/scholar?hl=e...

Today, we had an interesting discussion about my proposal for new Real-Time Executors at the #ROS2 Client Libraries Working Groups. It is not clear to add this functionality inside😕 Real-time is something critical that not all ROS users think about when developing their software

Working on equipping PlanSys2 with replanning capabilities🤓 github.com/PlanSys2/ros...

Manuscript sent to the editorial on time!! 🤓 I suppose it will be available in early Spring 🤞

RIPS (Robotic Intrusion Prevention System) in action! Experiment 3: Detect malicious payloads. Platform: TIAGo robot, ROS 2, Cyclone DDS. Mitigation: halt the robot (System Mode). youtu.be/5BBzSYO2Z2c @fmrico.bsky.social

RIPS (Robotic Intrusion Prevention System) in action! Experiment 1: Unauthorized access to the front camera. Platform: TIAGo robot, ROS 2, Cyclone DDS. Mitigation: disable the camera (System Mode). youtu.be/lRMtxMtgSCs @fmrico.bsky.social

YAETS comes to Jazzy!! 🥳🍾 github.com/ros/rosdistr...

I want to share the Git Cheatsheet I have prepared to include in the 2nd edition of my book, which I will deliver next week to the editorial. It will probably be handy in general, particularly to the #ROS developers, as it covers the part of remotes. Mail me for the PDF version 🤓

Ya hemos completado los experimentos con nuestro Robotic Intrusion Prevention System (RIPS) para ROS 2 con la plataforma real (robot TIAGo) del Intelligent Robotics Lab y @fmrico.bsky.social . Ahora toca terminar el paper ;)
