Most of my life is figuring out how to get people who've made a whole bunch of stuff on ROS a way to migrate that stuff, and a platform to migrate it to, when they get to a point where all that cobbled together R&D work needs to turn into something safety-critical.
- Jack000 9y agoI've always thought ROS was largely meant for prototyping. An http transport layer for all nodes (even on the same machine) doesn't seem like the right choice for a production system.
- Waterluvian 9y agoKind of. I've seen the approach of building on top of ROS and incrementally replacing the weakest link work well. You end up with something that feels academically wrong to be in production spaces, but you also end up with something that actually sold and shipped. Establishing a product feedback loop sooner is more valuable than selling a technically "correct" product. Also it's TCP (or UDP if you want) not HTTP. ROS2 does one better with DDS.
