Key considerations when choosing a robot’s operating system

About the whitepaper

The demand for robotics is increasing in numerous industries, from healthcare to industrial to retail. And the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 10 per cent, reaching almost 70.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2028.

Robotics manufacturers need to consider how their operating system (OS) will influence both the speed and efficiency of development, and how their OS performs in production to provide a stable and supportable product in the long run. These considerations are even more important in such a fast-moving and competitive market.

Your choice of operating system is one of the most critical decisions, contributing to your company’s monetisation route, support offerings, and security strategy.

This whitepaper:

  • Covers several key OS considerations for robotics development and production.
  • Explores how the OS contributes to the security, update infrastructure and maintenance of robotics solutions.
  • Shows why Ubuntu is chosen by so many robotics companies and how they are leveraging its open-source tools for robotics.
