ROS-Industrial
An open-source project that extends the advanced capabilities of ROS to industrial hardware and applications.
Overview
ROS-Industrial is an open-source project that aims to apply the advanced capabilities of the Robot Operating System (ROS) to industrial automation and robotics. It provides a collection of software packages that include interfaces for common industrial manipulators, grippers, sensors, and device networks. By providing a standardized interface, ROS-Industrial enables developers to create applications that are compatible with a wide range of industrial hardware, reducing the need for vendor-specific programming.
✨ Key Features
- Standardized interface for industrial robots
- Support for a wide range of robot brands
- Libraries for motion planning, perception, and calibration
- Active community and consortium support
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Hardware-agnostic
- Leverages the power of the ROS ecosystem
- Open-source and community-driven
Unique Value: Enables the use of advanced, open-source robotics software with a wide range of industrial hardware, fostering innovation and reducing vendor lock-in.
