Fedora Robotics SIG
Mission
The Fedora Robotics Special Interest Group brings robotics frameworks and tools to Fedora. The SIG maintains packages, builds container images, and produces documentation so that robotics developers can run frameworks like ROS2 and engines like O3DE natively on Fedora and its derivatives.
Whether packaging RPMs, building container images, writing documentation, or testing robotics workloads, every contribution strengthens the Fedora robotics ecosystem. See the Contributing page to get started.
Scope
Robotics covers a broad range of software. The SIG organizes its work into the following areas.
The high-level issue tracker lives in GitLab.
RPM Packaging
This initiative focuses on maintaining Fedora packages required by robotics frameworks such as ROS2 and engines like O3DE. The goal is to build and run these tools using native Fedora packages rather than third-party repositories.
Image Building
The SIG builds container images for running robotics workloads on Fedora. All container image manifests live under the images sub-group in GitLab.
Published container images are available on quay.io.
| An older Robotics spin exists but is no longer maintained. The plan is to replace it with a Bootc-based image for robotics workloads. |
Demos and Showcases
Demos showing how to use ROS2 on Fedora and its variants live in GitLab.
Documentation
The source for this website lives in GitLab.
Community
The SIG meets every other Thursday at 4PM UTC. Check the Fedora SIG calendar for upcoming meetings. Meeting notes are published in GitLab.
The primary communication channel is Matrix. Questions and discussions also take place on the Fedora Discussion forum using the robotics-sig tag.
