…Oceania. The center will use Open Robotics’ Robotics Middleware Framework, or RMF, and will have interoperability with “complex and heterogenous multi-robot systems.” “This is an important step toward enabling stronger and seamless human-machine collaboration, where mobile robots, using natural or existing infrastructure, perform autonomous movement of goods (handling, moving, and storing warehouse assets) as they work alongside humans,” the company…

…the German VDA 5050 standard. “Open Robotics has been a great contributor to the industry,” acknowledged Theobald. “OpenRMF is more of an implementation than a standard. It was designed to work in a hospital in Singapore, but another company couldn’t just adopt it. We are in partnership discussions.” “There has been extensive proof ... that Open-RMF is an open-source initiative…
