How Open-RMF Solves Multi-Robot Interoperability — And Why It's Hard
A technical exploration of the Open Robotics Middleware Framework: how it abstracts robot differences, manages traffic, and enables heterogeneous fleets to work as one.
Our engineering team writes about what we actually do in production: Open-RMF deployments, ROS 1 & ROS 2 configurations, fleet orchestration patterns, and automation strategy.

We upgraded 40 legacy AGVs at a European automotive OEM. Here's the technical reality of ROS 1 to ROS 2 migration on physical hardware that wasn't designed for it.
Despite years of investment, most warehouse robot fleets remain fragmented. This article breaks down the technical and business reasons — and what's changing.
Step-by-step guide to deploying Open-RMF for a real fleet. Covers fleet adapter setup, building adapters, traffic management, and common pitfalls.
FMS v3.0 introduces AI-driven task scheduling, improved traffic deconfliction, multi-site management, and native integration with 12 new robot platforms.
Nav2 is powerful but tricky in production. We share the configuration patterns, failure modes, and optimization tricks we've learned from 70+ real-world deployments.
Not every fleet needs to migrate to ROS 2. We break down the real-world cases where ROS 1 Noetic is still the right choice — and how to keep it production-grade.
Step-by-step guide to running ROS 1 and ROS 2 robots on the same fleet using ros1_bridge. Covers topic mapping, service bridging, and common integration pitfalls.
