In September, Open Robotics, the organization behind the robot operating system (ROS), announced a ROS 2 Technical Steering Committee (TSC) to set the technical direction for ROS 2, the second generation of the Robot Operating System.

Representing Acutronic Robotics, Víctor Mayoral (CEO) will now join this group.
The ROS 2 Technical Steering Committee is broadening participation to accelerate ROS 2 delivery: determining the roadmap, developing core tools and libraries and establishing working groups to focus on important topics.

Víctor and his team will make continued significant contributions to ROS 2 in three main areas:Other members of the ROS 2 Steering Committee, representing organizations that are contributing to the development of ROS 2, are Microsoft, Intel, Arm, LG or Bosch among others.

Since the beginning of ROS, the project has been overseen and prioritized primarily by one organization - first Willow Garage and now Open Robotics-. Although this approach worked -as evidenced by the widespread adoption of ROS around the world- with ROS 2, things are meant to be done even faster and more effectively.
