FANUC has officially released its ROS 2 driver for the CRX Collaborative Robot Series
FANUC has officially released its ROS 2 driver for the CRX Collaborative Robot Series, marking a major milestone in open-source robotics and industrial automation. This breakthrough empowers developers, researchers, and manufacturers to build intelligent robotic applications using the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2)—a modern, scalable framework for real-time robot control.
The FANUC ROS 2 driver is a software interface that connects FANUC CRX Collaborative Robots to the ROS 2 ecosystem. It empowers users to leverage open-source tools for advanced automation, research, and industrial deployment. The driver supports high-frequency control, MoveIt integration, and simulation capabilities, enabling flexible deployment across research and production environments.
The FANUC ROS 2 driver is available now for the CRX Collaborative Robot Series and several other models. Developers can access documentation, installation guides, and support via FANUC CORPORATION’s official GitHub repositories.
