"Rust for Robotics: Safer, Faster Systems for Autonomous Applications"
summary
Workshop harvests: 100 attendees, 8 talks, 4 posters, 2 panels; Rust is already powering real projects: Zeno hits 10 million messages/sec, copRS reports sub-microsecond latency, DRS makes Python bindings 70x faster than ROS 2’s Python. A minimal Rust quad autonomy prototype runs depth rendering and obstacle avoidance in simulation and reached Hacker News. Practical path is incremental: port the critical 20% that causes 80% of safety or performance issues and use crates like ros2-rust, R2R, rerun, rapier, Zeno, DRS and OPN.
