…customers around the world manage security vulnerabilities. Open Robotics responds But Open Robotics, the Mountain View, Calif.-based nonprofit that maintains the Robot Operating System, said in an e-mail to Robotics 24/7 that “most or all of the issues have been addressed, and exploitation in the wild has not been documented.” It added that of the 13 common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs): “Two are for CycloneDDS, have been patched, and are related to an XML parser configuration. One is for FastDDS…

…with organizations like MassRobotics or startups like Open Robotics and InOrbit. Glynn: Absolutely. The increased focus on omnichannel fulfillment accelerated by the pandemic is not going away. On top of that, consumers now expect delivery quicker than ever before. These external pressures are going to require companies to adapt or fall behind and this will lead to more money pouring into companies developing the solutions that operators are seeking. Elazary: I do expect we'll see more funding and more consolidation…

…AutoGuide Mobile Robots Third Wave Automation InOrbit Open Robotics A key focus of this standards effort is to allow AMRs of different types to share status information or “rules of the road.” For example, the standard addresses data points such as common reference location, current location, a robot’s state (active versus idle), and future destination. The standard also enables the creation of operational dashboards so managers can gain insights into fleet productivity and utilization. However, it is not meant as…

…open-source community and the healthcare industry. The Open Robotics Middleware Framework, or Open-RMF, is designed to coordinate fleets of robots with typical use cases and integrate them with elevators and other systems. “As more diverse robots are being deployed around the world, there is a growing need for specialized robots from different developers to be able to communicate with each other. A lingua robotica, if you will,” said Open Robotics in a blog post today. Mountain View, Calif.-based Open Source…

Source: Open Robotics How long would it take to build robotics applications in ROS before compared with Foxy? Hansen: Foxy provides a high bar for features, tools, and quality that has been previously hard to achieve without a large engineering effort. Using Foxy as a starting point gives developers a big head start over starting from scratch, saving development and testing time. Depending on the application, from a home cleaning robot to a lunar…
