Efforts to solve open-source robot development issues by the RRI Research and Review Committee

Abstract

Open-source software (OSS) is increasingly being used in robot development. On the other hand, various issues peculiar to robot development using OSS have also been pointed out. As an initiative to resolve these issues, the RRI (Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative Council) has set up multiple committees called the Survey and Review Committee as a forum for gathering robot users, SIers, and manufacturers and discussing since FY2018. In addition to these committees, a new committee will be established for the purpose of maintaining and managing OSS for robots and platform software, and the background and purpose of the establishment will be described.
