Google Is Giving Away ‘The Android Of Robotics’ - Forbes

Google has announced it is open-sourcing Robot Operating System (ROS) version 2, a move that could significantly impact the industrial robotics landscape. Often referred to as ‘the Android of robotics,’ ROS 2 is a flexible framework for writing robot software. By making it freely available, Google aims to foster wider adoption, encourage community development, and accelerate innovation. This democratization of advanced robotics software could lead to more accessible and customizable robotic solutions for packaging lines, potentially lowering development costs and speeding up the integration of automated tasks for FMCG, pharma, and industrial companies. The enhanced flexibility and standardization expected from ROS 2 will be of particular interest to operations engineers seeking to optimize their packaging processes.
