Reproducible ROS Environments Across Any Platform with Pixi

Managing dependencies in robotics is notoriously painful, distro lock-in,
platform constraints, and reproducibility issues slow down development across
the board.

Pixi is a cross-platform, cross-language package manager built on the conda
ecosystem that addresses these problems head-on. In this talk, Ruben Arts from
Prefix.dev covers how Pixi enables reproducible robotics environments that work
beyond the Ubuntu + ROS distro constraints, with support for CUDA acceleration,
ML tooling, embedded targets, and more — all from a single lockfile.

🔧 Topics covered:
- Pixi fundamentals applied to robotics workflows
- Cross-platform environment reproducibility with lockfile-based dependency resolution
- Mixing ROS packages with Python, CUDA, and other ecosystems
- Live demos

👤 Speaker:
Ruben Arts — software engineer at Prefix.dev, formerly in robotics.
Core contributor to the conda ecosystem and active in the ROS community.
