Open Robotics is a <a href="Nonprofit_corporation" title="Nonprofit corporation">nonprofit corporation</a> headquartered in <a href="Mountain_View%2C_California" title="Mountain View, California">Mountain View</a>, <a href="California" title="California">California</a>. It is the primary maintainer of the <a href="Robot_Operating_System" title="Robot Operating System">Robot Operating System</a>, and the <a href="Gazebo_simulator" class="mw-redirect" title="Gazebo simulator">Gazebo simulator</a>.<a href="#cite_note-history_ros-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Its stated mission is to support "the development, distribution and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product development".<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

Open Robotics funds its operations through the contributions of various public and private organizations, some of whom also engage its services for the development of various robotics applications, robotics <a href="Research_and_Development" class="mw-redirect" title="Research and Development">R&D</a> and consulting.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Notable sources of past and current funding include <a href="DARPA" title="DARPA">DARPA</a>, <a href="NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a>, <a href="Amazon_(company)" title="Amazon (company)">Amazon</a>, <a href="Robert_Bosch_GmbH" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Bosch GmbH">Bosch</a>, <a href="Nvidia" title="Nvidia">Nvidia</a> and the <a href="Toyota" title="Toyota">Toyota</a> Research Institute.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

The beginnings of Open Robotics can be traced to <a href="Willow_Garage" title="Willow Garage">Willow Garage</a>, a <a href="Robotics" title="Robotics">robotics</a> research lab and incubator created by Scott Hassan, an early <a href="Google" title="Google">Google</a> engineer and billionaire technology entrepreneur. It was here that the first official <a href="Robot_Operating_System" title="Robot Operating System">Robot Operating System</a> (ROS) distribution was released in May 2010, and quickly gained widespread adoption.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-history_ros-1">[1]</a> Willow Garage was gradually dissolved in the ensuing years into several spin-offs, including the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), which was created in May 2012 to continue to shepherd the development of ROS and the <a href="Gazebo_simulator" class="mw-redirect" title="Gazebo simulator">Gazebo simulator</a>.<a href="#cite_note-osrf_announced-10">[10]</a>

OSRF's initial backers included <a href="Willow_Garage" title="Willow Garage">Willow Garage</a><a href="#cite_note-osrf_announced-10">[10]</a> and <a href="DARPA" title="DARPA">DARPA</a>, which awarded OSRF its first contract to support open source simulation software for the <a href="DARPA_Robotics_Challenge" title="DARPA Robotics Challenge">DARPA Robotics Challenge</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> In subsequent years, OSRF also provided support for <a href="NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a>'s Space Robotics challenge<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> and the DARPA Subterranean Challenge.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

In September 2016, a taxable subsidiary named the Open Source Robotics Corporation (OSRC) was created to foster greater collaboration with industry.<a href="#cite_note-home_page-14">[14]</a> Together with OSRF, these two organizations came to be officially known as Open Robotics in May 2017.<a href="#cite_note-home_page-14">[14]</a> In 2018, Open Robotics opened its first overseas office in <a href="Singapore" title="Singapore">Singapore</a>,<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> and announced its collaboration with the Singapore Government to work on robotics applications for the healthcare sector.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

In December 2022, OSRC and OSRC-SG (the Singapore entity) were acquired by Intrinsic, a subsidiary of <a href="Alphabet_Inc." title="Alphabet Inc.">Alphabet</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> OSRF remains an independent non-profit.

In April 15th, 2024 the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://osralliance.org">OSRA</a> (THE OPEN SOURCE Robotics Alliance) replaced the OSRC, the OSRC was sold to Intrinsic before the creation of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://osralliance.org">OSRA</a> initiative, and both of those things are part of a single long-term plan by the OSRF to provide a stable future for ROS, Gazebo, Open-RMF, and the infrastructure that supports them.
