What makes ROS-Industrial different?
Hi Friend,
This question comes up often:
What is ROS-Industrial?
ROS-Industrial is more than software, and it’s more than a consortium.
It’s a community of manufacturers, system integrators, robotics companies, researchers, and end users working together to solve the challenges that none of us should have to solve alone.
Every organization has problems that make it unique. But every organization also needs reliable robot drivers, calibration tools, interfaces, simulation assets, perception and path planning libraries, documentation, and integration patterns. By developing and maintaining these common building blocks together, the entire robotics industry moves faster.
At this year’s ROS-Industrial Annual Meeting, we described that idea this way:
ROS-Industrial's mission remains the same: enabling innovation in industrial robotics through collaboration, open-source technology, applied research, and education. New technologies will continue to emerge, and our responsibility is to understand them, evaluate them, and make them useful to industrial practitioners. Today, that includes AI. Tomorrow, it will include technologies not yet imagined.
That philosophy shapes everything we do—from technical projects and training to working groups and annual meetings.
If you’d like to follow along, here are a few places to start:
Thanks for joining us. We’re looking forward to building the future of industrial robotics together.
Thanks,
Jerry Towler
