Strategic Approach to Materialize Sample Clauses

Strategic Approach to Materialize the Vision‌ To materialize a reality where microprocessors and microcontrollers could be mixed together seamlessly in any robotic system, the project aims to expand the ROS 2 robot ecosystem to such devices, preferably through modifying ROS 2, where possible, but also through supplying complementary pieces where the current ROS 2 approach is unsuitable or non-existent. This strategy reduces the sustainability burden, and eases adoption. In addition, the growth of the resulting, larger ecosystem is supported through standardization and com- munity building efforts. Through these efforts in particular, the project also achieves enhanced visibility and influence of European actors in the world-wide ROS 2 community. Specifically, the project’s key results, as currently known (i.e. existing or planned), contribute to this as follows: Key result Type Contribution DDS-XRCE OMG Standard Ensures vendor-independent interoperability for deeply embedded devices. Micro XRCE-DDS Open Source The reference implementation for DDS-XRCE, available for use and enhancement by the community. Also already provides message-level compatibility with ROS 2. HRIM Community Standard Ensures discoverability and interoperability through self-description of devices. ROS 2 Embedded Client Library ROS 2 Embedded Building Blocks Open Source Optimal performance for embedded devices in the ROS 2 eco-system through a small runtime, and specialized scheduling support. Open Source Useful building blocks for embedded applications, e.g., embedded TF micro-ROS Brand A unifying brand name for ROS 2 efforts targeted at deeply embedded devices All of the corresponding activities are based upon the following core principles: • Commercial exploitation - with a particular focus on Europe • Alignment with ongoing initiatives • International community acceptance In the following, we will discuss each one of the key results.
