Distributing ROS Apps with Snaps

Distribute robotics applications like a global software vendor

Overview

While developing is usually handled well by robotics developers, deploying a robotics application can be confusing. One might compile the code on robots, copy/paste compiled packages, and end up with unknown versions of software. Snap offers a solution to build and distribute robotics applications and, more generally, any software. You will learn how to use snaps to automatize robot applications distribution.

What you will learn

We will cover the basics of snap creation for ROS and ROS 2 applications. Then, by introducing the main concepts of snap, learn how to confine your robotics application and make it installable on dozens of Linux distributions.
