<!-- MISSION -->
<h3class="text-center"><iclass="fa fa-rocket" aria-hidden="true" style="font-size:180%;">&nbsp;</i>Mission</h3>
<pstyle="text-align:justify;">Bridging the gap between resource-constrained microcontrollers and larger processors in robotic applications that are based on the Robot Operating System.</p>
<p>

</p>

<!-- WHY MCU? -->
<h3class="text-center"><iclass="fa fa-microchip" aria-hidden="true" style="font-size:180%;">&nbsp;</i>Why Microcontrollers?</h3>
<pstyle="text-align:justify;">Microcontrollers are used in almost every robotic product. Typical reasons are:</p>
<ulstyle="margin-left: 0; padding-left: 1em;">
<li>Hardware access</li>
<li>Hard, low-latency real-time</li>
<li>Power saving</li>
</ul>
<pstyle="text-align:justify;">Another important reason is safety, but note that micro-ROS is not developed according to any safety standard.</p>
<pstyle="text-align:justify;">Check our complete <ahref="docs/overview/hardware/">supported hardware list</a>.</p>

<!-- NEWS -->
<h3class="text-center"><iclass="fa fa-newspaper-o" aria-hidden="true" style="font-size:180%;">&nbsp;</i>News</h3>
<pstyle="text-align:justify;">Read about the latest developments in our <ahref="{{ "/allposts" | prepend: site.baseurl }}">blog</a> or attend the next ROS 2 Embedded Working Group Meeting, which take place online on a monthly basis. The meeting link can be found in the <ahref="https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/The-ROS2-Project/Governance.html#upcoming-ros-events">ROS 2 Events calendar.</a></p>
