Subject: [ros-users] New Brown ROS Pkg Release
Brown is pleased to announce the first of a series of summer software
releases, beginning with a new BoxTurtle-compatible release of the
Brown ROS Pkg.

As usual, the full details are available at:

http://code.google.com/p/brown-ros-pkg/

Highlights include:

* the aforementioned BoxTurtle compatibility

* probe has become gscam, and is now compatible with the ROS camera
interface, this means any camera or image source available to
gstreamer can now be a calibrated part of an image_proc pipeline

* a new node, ar_recog, exposing most of the functionality of
ARToolKit through ROS messages

* pr2_keyboard_teleoperator, providing full teleoperation of the PR2
from the keyboard

* position_tracker, a simple odometry correction service

Please check it out and help us make improvements, and be on the
look-out for more releases in the coming weeks, including: an ARTag
odometry system, an improved NAO v1.6 compatible version of our NAO
drivers, and more.
