Understanding ROS-Industrial packages
ROS-Industrial basically extends the advanced capabilities of ROS software to industrial robots employed in manufacturing processes. ROS-Industrial consists of many software packages, which help us to control industrial robots. These packages are BSD (legacy)/Apache 2.0 (preferred) licensed programs, which contain libraries, drivers, and tools with a standard solution for industrial hardware. ROS-Industrial is now guided by the ROS-Industrial Consortium. The official website of ROS-Industrial (ROS-I) can be found at http://rosindustrial.org/:
