Guide Release Focuses on Open Source and Cross-Domain Integration
Organized by the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, executed by the Institute for Information Industry and the Precision Machinery Research and Development Center, and co-hosted with the Taiwan Electronic Equipment Industry Association and the Taiwan Intelligent Automation Association, the ROBOT READY 2026 General Robotics Guideline Release and Technology Ecosystem Forum was held on the 12th in Taipei. The General Introductory Guide to Robotic Systems Based on ROS 2 was officially released, joined by 24 industry strategic partners, aiming to build a flexible and scalable robotics ecosystem through open-source technology and cross-domain integration and accelerate Taiwan companies entering the international intelligent robotics supply chain.
ROS 2 Framework Integration Practices and Compliance Issues
This guide is based on the ROS 2 open-source development framework, integrating robotics development practices, hardware interfaces, communication protocols and commonly used algorithms, and includes robot foundation models and international compliance topics. The organizers noted that for components from different vendors to be successfully applied in robotic systems, joint foundation development and industry cooperation are needed in addition to the technology itself. Through technical knowledge consolidation and sharing, the guide aims to shorten the learning and development process for domestic companies entering the robotics field, and extend existing technologies to robotics products and application markets.
24 Strategic Partners Invest in Component Deployment
The 24 responding strategic partners include INTEL Taiwan, Novatek Technology, Primax Technology, Techman Robot, Star International, DFI Information, IEI Integration, AAEON Technology, Lanner Technology, Xinchuang Electronics, Vecow, Advantech, Dongqing Technology, Congtai Technology, Trontek, CoolBLE, Wuso Technology, Jianwei Technology, Otming Electronics, EverFocus Electronics, Yuanjian Precision Machinery, Asia Optical, Tron Intelligence (affiliated company of Tron Union Electronics) and UL Solutions. The related companies are optimistic about the growth potential of the intelligent robotics industry and will continue to invest in the development and supply of robot-specific components and related solutions, bringing more diverse product and technology choices to Taiwan robotics supply chain.
Policy Guidance and Ecosystem Physical Showcase
Li Zhenlong, Section Chief of the Electronics and Information Division, Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, said at the event that since 2025 the government proposed the Smart Robotics Industry Promotion Program, and continues to create favorable conditions for companies to invest in the intelligent robotics industry through policy guidance and cross-domain resource integration. Facing global robotics industry development and international supply chain restructuring, the key lies not only in technology R&D, but in transforming existing technological capabilities into market-competitive products and solutions. The event arranged technology forums and physical displays, presenting key component investments from edge computing platforms, robot controllers, to vision cameras and joint modules, combined with the ROS 2 open-source framework, complete machine manufacturing, system integration and testing and verification, aiming to shorten the distance from component development to practical application.
