Robots that can see,hear and think
ROS (Robotic Operating System) is built on Ubuntu. With powerful computer vision and AI libraries and a wide choice of supported sensors,it’s the most popular robotic development environment for everything from autonomous drones to self-driving cars.
A path to production
Commercialise your robotics projects with Ubuntu Core. Leverage a large community and standard,open source solutions for a faster route to market. Continuously improve your robots and drones wherever they are in the field,with a fail-safe remote upgrade system.
Built-in security
Ubuntu Core delivers application containment,restricted file accessibility and read-only files,to ensure the integrity of the software running on your robots. The result is guaranteed security,from the drivers to the apps that run on your robots.
New software revenues
Offer an appstore for your drones and robots and you can generate revenue from updates,add-on functionality,support services or complete reconfigurations.
Will your next robot run on Ubuntu?
Ubuntu loves robotics
The most widely adopted platform for ROS,Ubuntu ran on an estimated 80% of robots at the last DARPA Robotics Challenge. In fact,it offers a wealth of libraries and hardware options,from smart IoT and robotics to AI development.
