The Construct’s
Vote for the best in 2024
ROS DEVELOPERS’ CHOICE AWARDS
The ROS Awards aim to be the Oscars of the ROS world. We intend to recognize contributions to the ROS community and the development of the ROS-based robot industry and to help them gain awareness.
ROS is a trademark of Open Robotics. Please note that Open Robotics is not involved in these awards.
Vote for the ROS contributions that inspired you and are shaping the future of robotics.
Voting Policy
- Everyone in the ROS community can vote.
- Voting can only be done once from the same device and IP address.
- We have provided a few options for reference, but voting for each category is open. You can nominate the best in your mind (We ask that you give as much detail as possible when voting to avoid confusion with other votes).
- Since The Construct organized the awards, none of its products or developers can be nominated.
- On June 28, 2024, one week before the 7th Robotics Developers Day (July 5, 2024), voting will close and three finalists in each category will be announced.
- Winners will be announced at the Robotics Developers Day, and all voting results will be published to the public on July 30, 2024.
