ROS-Industrial basically extends the advanced capabilities of ROS software to industrial robots employed in manufacturing processes. ROS-Industrial consists of many software packages, which help us to control industrial robots. These packages are BSD (legacy)/Apache 2.0 (preferred) licensed programs, which contain libraries, drivers, and tools with a standard solution for industrial hardware. ROS-Industrial is now guided by the ROS-Industrial Consortium. The official website of ROS-Industrial (ROS-I) can be found at http://rosindustrial.org/:

The main goals behind ROS-Industrial development are as follows:
- Combining the strength of ROS with the existing industrial technologies to explore the advanced capabilities of ROS in the manufacturing process
- Developing a reliable and robust software for industrial robot applications
- Providing an easy way to do research and development in industrial robotics
- Creating...
