[ros-users] ros industrial - who is using ros

[Hesen Peng]

Thank you Shaun. That's very interesting input.

These days I'm exploring possibilities to give robots a "brain" using
the cloud. So they can actually recognize and respond more
intelligently. Let's see how that goes.

If we can demonstrate ROS-Industrial as robust and reliable solution, I think the real benefit comes in our ability to streamline the robot installation/integration process.  The "smarter" our robots the less it will cost to put them to work.

The common theme in these programs is leveraging 2D/3D perception capabilities for industrial applications.  Each of the systems has a dynamic component that makes the traditional approach of pre-planned, highly repeatable motion infeasible.  As of now there isn't a deployed system using ROS, that I am aware of.  I expect this to change in the near future (<6 months).
