eProsima announces the general availability of eProsima Shapes Demo 1.3.1.

Shapes Demo is an application that Publishes and Subscribes to shapes of different colors and sizes moving on a board. Each Shape conforms its own topic: Square, Triangle or Circle. A single instance of the Shapes Demo can publish on or subscribe to several topics at a time.

It can be used to demonstrate the capabilities of eProsima Fast RTPS or as an interoperability demonstrator with other implementations of the RTPS protocol.

Madrid, Nov 2016

eProsima was at the IoT Congress 2016 (Barcelona, 25-27 October 2016) presenting a Robotics Live Demo. We demonstrated how to automate a warehouse using simple robots powered by ROS2, the upcoming release of the Robotic Operating System. ROS2 uses our networking middleware, eProsima Fast RTPS, to connect the different components within and between robots.

Madrid, October 2016

The Robot Operating System (ROS) has announced in the ROSCON 2016 they adopt eProsima Fast RTPS as the default middleware for the upcoming release of ROS, known as ROS2.

September 2016 - by Jaime Martin Losa, eProsima CEO.

In the last months Fast RTPS has become the default Open Source ROS2 communications engine and it has been tested intensively by many robotic companies.

We were willing to try by ourselves the features of ROS2 in real robots, preparing some proofs of concept to have some fun, and here is what we are doing:

Madrid, September 2016

FIWARE, a Leading Internet of Future platform will use eProsima Fast RTPS as protocol for Robotic, IoT and Critical Applications. Fast RTPS has become a FIWARE Generic Enabler, and is offered to FIWARE users as part of the platform.

Madrid, August 2016

eProsima announces the general availability of eProsima Fast RTPS 1.3.0. This release introduces several new features:

• Unbound Arrays support: Now you can send variable size data arrays.
• Extended Fragmentation Configuration: It allows you to setup a Message/Fragment max size different to the standard 64Kb limit.
• Improved logging system: Get even more introspection about the status of your communications system.
• Static Discovery: Use XML to map your network and keep discovery traffic to a minimum.
• Stability and performance improvements: A new iteration of our built-in performance tests will make benchmarking easier for you.
• ReadTheDocs Support: We improved our documentation format and now our installation and user manuals are available online on ReadTheDocs.

Madrid, June 2016

eProsima announces the general availability of eProsima Fast RTPS 1.2.0. This release introduces two important new features:

• Flow Controllers: A mechanism to control how you use the available bandwidth avoiding data bursts. The controllers allow you to specify the maximum amount of data to be sent in a specific period of time. This is very useful when you are sending large messages requiring fragmentation.
• Discovery Listeners: Now the user can subscribe to the discovery information to know the entities present in the network (Topics, Publishers & Subscribers) dynamically without prior knowledge of the system. This enables the creation of generic tools to inspect your system.

But there is more:

• Full ROS2 Support: Fast RTPS is used by ROS2, the upcoming release of the Robot Operating System (ROS).
• Better documentation: More content and examples.
• Improved performance.
• Bug fixing.
