EBOOK
A practical guide to migrating ROS1 to ROS2
ROS1 has reached End of Life in May 2025. No more patches, no new features, and decreasing compatibility with modern systems. If you’re still relying on ROS1, now’s the time to act.
ROS2 is more than a version update – it’s a shift toward modern, scalable, and production-grade robotics software. With a redesigned architecture, improved performance, and stronger security, it’s built for the future.
Our ebook gives you a clear, step-by-step framework for migrating from ROS1 to ROS2, developed by engineers, for engineers.
