Robot Operating System - Industrial, open source cross-platform framework for robot-specific software development
Themes: Software technology & Intelligent systems, Robotics
Early stage commercial environment application
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
ROS-Industrial is a software platform that allows (inter)connection of all types and brands of robots and other intelligent machines. It will greatly improve the accessibility of robot technology gains of robotics.
How?
A worldwide network of developers works together to translate high-level research results, such as smart 3D camera software, into plug-and-play software components.
When?
ROS-Industrial is already operational, and many more features and capabilities will be added in the next few years.
