5 Robotics Team Mistakes That Cost Junior Devs Weeks
A robot that moves on a developer’s laptop has passed an onboarding exercise, not a release test. I would not start an automation project by adding a planner or splitting nodes across machines, because neither fixes the failures a short demo rarely exposes: stale sensor data, inconsistent clocks, and commands that outlive the connection that sent them. Teams pay for that confusion in debugging time first and unsafe motion later.
A moving bot is a poor release criterion because the demo hides failure modes
Read ROS 2 on a laptop in 60 minutes from install to moving bot, then replay the…
