Insights from the 2022 Version

1. This yr, the third time we organise the awards, we have now elevated the whole variety of votes by 500% So we are able to say that the winners are illustration of the emotions of the neighborhood.
2. Nonetheless this yr, the winners of earlier editions obtained many votes. Luckily, we utilized the brand new rule of not permitting to win earlier winners, to supply area for different ROS tasks have the concentrate on the neighborhood, and therefore assist to create a wealthy ROS ecosystem.

Conclusions

The ROS Awards began in 2020 with a primary version the place the winners have been a number of the greatest and well-known tasks within the ROS world. On this third version, we have now massively elevated the variety of votes from the earlier version. We anticipate this award will proceed to contribute to the spreading of excellent ROS tasks.

See you once more at ROS Awards 2023!
