A look back at Willow Garage
- jldugger 11y agoInteresting; I got the impression at the time that all the engineers became employees at Suitable selling the same thing under a different name. Given that some of the founders aren't part of that new company, I assume there's something at play beyond "you're free now!"
- zitterbewegung 11y agoI am using one of Willow Garage's open source projects for my startup called Point Cloud Library. It seemed like after the acquisition the project lost some steam but I think the community stepped up and is still maintaining although the Robot Operating System has been separated from the rest of the library. There is a python interface for PCL that I might try to start again or contribute.
