Is there a native ROS2 support on compas?

We are very keen to use compas. Please let us know.

Many thanks.

Yea. Compas fab 2.0 (which will be released in a week or so) is using ros2 as IK and planning backend.

I’m not sure about compas\_rrc for robot communication and control.

I think within this week. In the meantime you can try to pre release branch here, the core classes and functions are stable.

With a bit of delay, but we released FAB 2.0 a couple of weeks ago:

- [compas-fab · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/compas-fab/)
- And also take a look at the workshop material for it [GitHub - gramaziokohler/workshop\_compas\_fab\_2: Materials for the COMPAS FAB 2.0 workshop · GitHub](https://github.com/gramaziokohler/workshop_compas_fab_2)

Cheers  
Gonzalo

That’s amazing. Thank you so much.

Also thanks for the GitHub repo on workshop material. Are you planning to have a workshop for public or externals? Would be very interested.

We don’t have public fab/robots workshops planned in the short term. If we were to plan one, which format would you be interested in: an in-person workshop or a virtual/remote one? A compact, 2-3 hours one, or a longer 3-4 days one? In the meantime, if you have specific questions or wishes that you think the published workshop repo doesn’t address, please do create a github issue on that repo and I’ll try to get to it!

Cheers!
