  It boggles my mind that more people aren't talking about this.

  I work in robotics and seeing an Alphabet moonshot come out of nowhere to take a controlling interest in OSRC is fascinating. Even validating for those who are working on enterprise-focused solutions for robotics makers and integrators.

  It seems to me that Intrinsic (and probably Alphabet as a whole) are getting wise to the big uptick in commercial robotic services that we are going to see over the next couple decades.

  It's tremendous news indeed but I personally believe it's going to bring exciting changes and benefits: https://news.accelerationrobotics.com/is-open-robotics-acqui...

  Very curious to see what this means for ROS.
