[ros-users] The 5th meetup of ROS Japan Users Group in Nagoya.

[Yutaka Kondo]

Hi, everyone. 
I’m Yutaka Kondo, a member of ROS Japan Users Group (JUG).

On April 11th, the 5th meetup of ROS JUG was successfully done.
This is the first time to be held not in Tokyo, but in Nagoya (the middle of Japan) 
thanks to the cooperation of the Chubu University (http://www.chubu.ac.jp/english/).
Over 50 people in total joined. The growth of Japanese ROS culture is now promising!

We had a hands-on seminar for ROS beginners, 3 presentations and 5 lightning talks as following.
(I named the english titles based on the original Japanese ones.)
