ROS-Industrial

United States

ROS-Industrial bridges the ROS ecosystem to industrial manipulators and factory automation hardware: drivers, MoveIt configurations, training material, CI tooling. It has no single licence or version number : it is dozens of separately versioned repositories under regional member-funded consortia rather than one company.
