The Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA, the Alliance) is a new initiative of the OSRF to organize and strengthen project governance and community involvement.
We are grateful to have received early support for the OSRA vision from these valued members of the robotics community.
“Qualcomm Technologies is excited to join the OSRA to help drive the development of open-source robotics software and foster the growth of the vibrant ROS Suite developer community.
Leveraging our longstanding history in on-device AI processing and heterogeneous computing, our comprehensive family of robotics platforms addresses all types of robots to deliver the benefits of AI at the edge.”
“PickNik was founded to grow the MoveIt open source project, so it has always been a major advocate of ROS. We’re proud to be part of the inaugural members of the OSRA.”
“In an era where technology unites and shapes futures, the creation of the Open Source Robotics Alliance stands as a landmark move toward making cutting-edge robotics universally accessible.
ZettaScale is thrilled to back this venture, aiming to spur innovation and foster a future where advanced robotics is not just a privilege, but a shared resource for all.”
“ROS and other Open Robotics initiatives have significantly impacted the commercialization of robotics.
Utilizing shared architectures like ROS enables robotics companies to accelerate commercial and venture funding success. Availing of this incredible resource is enabled by the investment of time and effort from the community, led by Open Robotics.
Silicon Valley Robotics’ mission is to support the innovation and commercialization of robotics technologies in research, startups, and industry. We have always been huge supporters of Open Robotics’ work.”
‘eProsima has been involved in the development of ROS 2 since 2015, and we continue to contribute to and support this ecosystem, now as members of the OSRA.’
“NVIDIA develops with ROS 2 to bring accelerated computing and AI to developers, researchers
and commercial applications.
As an inaugural platinum member of OSRA, we will collaborate to advance open-source
robotics throughout the ecosystem by aiding development efforts and providing governance
and continuity.”
“From the numerous contributions made by our team at Intrinsic across projects like ROS, Gazebo, and Open-RMF as part of the Open Robotics community, to our acquisition of the Open Source Robotics Corporation (OSRC), we’ve invested deeply in the open source community, and we look forward to continuing our support of the ecosystem as an inaugural member of the OSRA.”
“As an active member of this community, Ekumen has been contributing to Gazebo and ROS projects since the very early days. We are excited to continue strengthening our partnership with Open Robotics and the robotics community by expanding our collaboration. Thanks OSRF for making this happen!”
“Apex.AI supports the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA) to promote a business ecosystem around ROS, which is the backbone of our core product Apex.Grace. Apex.Grace is a fork of ROS 2, which has been made reliable and real-time and is safety-certified according to ISO 26262 ASIL D. A vendor-neutral home to provide technical oversight and to govern ROS and the surrounding ecosystem is critical for widespread adoption and continued success.”
“We are excited to join OSRA and believe that this collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing the field of robotics and open innovation. As one of the leaders of autonomous robotics, we recognize the importance of developing stable ecosystems for open source software, ensuring their longevity and fostering industry-wide cooperation.
By being a member of OSRA, we are not only investing in the future of robotics but also utilizing our expertise to actively contribute to technical governance and decision-making processes.”
The OSRF has assigned the governance of the following open source projects under its stewardship to the OSRA.
We invite all members of the open source robotics software community to join us in this endeavor.
