Raz, I feel your pain. Industrial automation and robotics vendor/users loathe change. Change and "research" has not always gone well and so I understand why they hesitate. That being said I am excited by what we have been able to accomplish with ROS-Industrial. We are making inroads with both the vendors and the end users. I have been in this industry for 7 years (long enough to know something, but not long enough to be stuck in my ways) and I have never seen such openness to new technology and cooperation. It really feels like we might be at a tipping point. As far as names, I'm afraid I cannot say. Since much of this work is in development, companies want to maintain a competitive advantage. I imagine once systems are deployed you will start to hear about systems that are "Powered by ROS" or have "ROS Inside" (whichever phrasing isn't trademarked already).

I am a Linux system programmer by profession. and I want to push ROS. I find ROS well maintained open source software ( I have been around.. ) During my time in this company i learned that changes are hard to come by, much more than software companies. I need to show that the MARKET is moving to ROS. this is why I am looking for NAMES.
