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. Patricia A. Brink, Director of Civil Enforcement Antitrust Division.
