Dexory at ROSCon 2024: Scaling success with ROS 2
November 26, 2024
At this year’s ROSCon, Dexory team proudly took the stage to share our expertise in deploying and scaling robotics solutions powered by ROS 2. As part of this vibrant community event, our team participated in engaging discussions and presented key learnings from our journey in revolutionising warehouse operations with autonomous robotics.
Panel: Successfully deploying ROS 2 into production
Our Lead Systems Architect, Guillaume Doisy, joined an esteemed panel to discuss the practical challenges and successes of deploying ROS 2 in production environments. The session, moderated by Christine Fraser-Boer from Asimovo, featured insights from industry leaders, including LG Electronics and AITonomi. Guillaume highlighted how Dexory has integrated ROS 2 to enable reliable, scalable robotics solutions for real-world applications.

Talk: Mobile robotics scale-up leveraging ROS
In one of the most anticipated sessions, Dexory’s Guillaume Doisy and Marcus Scheunemann shared the story of our transition from a small robotics start-up to deploying nearly 100 autonomous mobile robots in the field. This talk explored the steps we took to build a robust production software stack using the latest version of ROS 2, debunking the myth that sticking with a fixed ROS 1 stack is the only viable path for scaling operations. Guillaume and Marcus also underscored the importance of safeguarding processes, open-source contributions, and best practices that have driven substantial benefits for Dexory and our customers.

Talk: Accelerating the CI/CD-to-robot cycle by 10x for 1/10th the cost
In a session focused on engineering efficiency, Dexory’s Marcus Scheunemann and Ruffin White delivered a compelling case study on how we’ve optimised the CI/CD process for our robotics platform. By leveraging advanced Dockerfile patterns, GitHub Action workflows, and self-hosted runners, we achieved a tenfold increase in deployment speed while cutting costs dramatically. This innovative approach has unified simulation and production environments, enabling faster integration testing and accelerating our ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
