(‘‘RIC-Americas’’) has filed written
notifications simultaneously with the
Attorney General and the Federal Trade
Commission disclosing (1) the identities
of the parties to the venture and (2) the
nature and objectives of the venture.
The notifications were filed for the
purpose of invoking the Act’s provisions
limiting the recovery of antitrust
plaintiffs to actual damages under
specified circumstances.
Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act,
the identities of the parties to the
venture are: ABB–US Corporation

Technical Projects (FTP), further
supporting the developer community
through training, road mapping, events,
and technical support. The Robot
Operating System (ROS) is an opensource software project that provides a
common framework for robotic
applications. ROS is being used
extensively by the research community
for service robotics; its technology can
now be applied to industrial/
manufacturing robotics through ROSIndustrial (ROS–I). ROS–I is a repository
of ROS drivers and algorithms for
industrial robots, sensors, and
automation hardware. It enables new
applications like unstructured
manipulation including advanced
perception for identifying robot work
pieces (reducing the need for costly
hard tooling); dynamic path planning
that adapts to the environment in real
time and creates collision-free
trajectories, mobile manipulation,
which enables larger workspaces and
more flexible operations. RIC-Americas
will focus on the needs of industrial
robot users and will accelerate the
further development of ROS-Industrial.
