If you want to find out more or get access, have a look at our recent blog <a href="https://www.qt.io/software-insights/qt-robotics-framework-from-proof-of-concept-to-experimental-module" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">"Qt Robotics Framework: From Proof-of-Concept to Experimental Module"</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">We’re sharing this early preview to hear from you about what works, what doesn’t, and what more we could add, so please go try it out and let us know how it goes.</p>

<p dir="auto">I didn't know about it until now.  (oops)  It's good to see the Creator integration.</p>
<p dir="auto">But it looks like an imperative dynamically-typed API; we are building a declarative API by generating code at build time from the ROS IDL (msg, ...) files.  See this for an example of binding subscriber properties rather than handling messages as they come:  <a href="https://github.com/ec1oud/qt-presentations/blob/robotics/presentation/simpleSubscriber.qml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://github.com/ec1oud/qt-presentations/blob/robotics/presentation/simpleSubscriber.qml</a>   or this, for some declarative publisher examples: <a href="https://github.com/TheQtCompanyRnD/dogzilla/blob/main/dogzillad/qml/main.qml#L25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://github.com/TheQtCompanyRnD/dogzilla/blob/main/dogzillad/qml/main.qml#L25</a> (although some stuff nearer the bottom of that file still needs work to use more elegant patterns)</p>

<p dir="auto">But it does look like there have been some different approaches in the actual implementation, and the new module includes a URDF-to-Qt Quick 3D import since that was one key thing we have seen as a blocker for a lot of "digital twin" projects.</p>

<p dir="auto">That looks pretty neat !<br />
I am wondering how it compares to e.g. the <a href="https://github.com/StefanFabian/qml6_ros2_plugin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">QML6 ROS2 plugin</a> ?</p>
