Written By Geoffrey Biggs

The OSRA is pleased to announce that the Open Robotics Technology Strategy for 2026 has been published.

The OSRA's technology strategy defines the long-term aspirational goals that all OSRA projects strive for, and specific strategic priorities that the projects are focusing on in 2026. The aspirational goals capture what we believe our users most need from the software and services we provide, while the strategic priorities give guidance to our projects and contributors.

This technology strategy was formulated by the the Technical Governance Committee (TGC), with particular input by the project leaders and representatives. It is based on the needs of robotics professionals. It takes into account current trends in robotics in general, and in the projects specifically.

If you are looking to make a contribution to one of the OSRA's projects, this technology strategy will give you guidance on where the most valuable contributions lie.
