In this section, we will discuss the specification provided by the ROS-I Consortium for ROS node functionality to improve cross-platform compatibility. All ROS nodes that provide an interface to an industrial robot controller should follow the specification.
We can send the comments and questions on this specification to the ROS-I mailing list (swri-ros-pkg-dev@googlegroups.com).
In the following section, we will look into an overview of the guidelines that are provided by the ROS-I Consortium.
