For more than a decade, the Robot Operating System (ROS) has been the backbone of robotics research and early-stage development. It provided a common framework, a shared language, and a vast ecosystem of reusable components that allowed engineers and researchers to accelerate innovation.
But ROS was never designed for the realities of commercial deployment.
As robotics moves from laboratories into warehouses, factories, roads, and public spaces, the demands on software infrastructure have changed. Reliability, security, scalability, and real-time performance are no longer optional. They are prerequisites.
