ROS-I Consortium Celebrates First Decade The ROS-Industrial consortium, a project dedicated to advancing open-source robotics for manufacturing and industry, celebrated its 10th anniversary at its 2023 annual meeting. The consortium has grown from 14 member organizations in 2013 to over 85 organizations, representing a broad range of industries and academic institutions. ROS-Industrial has also expanded to include member consortia in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, attracting members globally. ROS-Industrial’s repositories of opensource robotics software tools are regularly updated and customized, advancing industrial robotics and enabling robots to perform new and diverse tasks, such as manufacturing aerospace composites (pictured). Members have access to a range of tools and activities, such as technical roadmapping, workforce development and developer meetings. Focused technical projects benefit the consortium and the community while supporting growth of the software repository.
