Case study: a ROS 2-based autonomous forklift system
How a ROS 2-based approach can help modernize existing forklifts and structure the development of autonomous functions.

ROS 2 can be a useful architecture layer when the goal is to organize autonomy functions, perception modules and communication in a more modular way. It becomes especially valuable in projects that build on existing forklifts instead of starting from a fully closed platform.
The critical question is not whether ROS 2 is modern, but whether the architecture remains maintainable, safe and predictable in an industrial environment. That is what decides whether a prototype can evolve into a usable deployment.
