Launching with

ros2 launch yolov8_bringup yolov8.launch.py 

gives me an import error:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @hcdiekmann, which version of ultralytics are you using?
The last version, 8.0.58, should work.

[hcdiekmann]

Yes indeed, I had an old version of ultralytics installed. Updating to the latest version resolves the initial error.
However now I am getting the following RunTime error:

As far as I remember ultralytics should be able to run on CPU only?

[mgonzs13]

Launching with ros2 launch yolov8_bringup yolov8.launch.py device:=cpu should use CPU instead of GPU.

[hcdiekmann]

Thank you. This works.
