hi Raz,
Compared to research users, commercial users of ROS tend to be less
forthcoming about their plans and status, which in many cases is
understandable.
For one perspective, have a look at the "robot portals" page:
http://ros.org/wiki/Robots
Some of those portals are maintained by the manufacturers of the
robots, which means that the companies involved are spending time and
money supporting ROS on their platforms.
You can also note the sponsor list for ROSCon:
http://roscon.ros.org/?page_id=72
Sponsorship of ROSCon is not necessarily an indication that the
sponsoring company is using ROS (though some certainly are), but it
suggests interest.
