The advent of ROS2 over WAN shatters the myth of localised robotic labour. No longer confined to the factory floor, robots can now operate truly remotely, integrating seamlessly into distributed operations. This isn't just an upgrade, it's the distributed future of automation arriving ahead of schedule. Will this decentralisation lead to true autonomy, or just more remote control?
The strongest counter
WAN connectivity for robots is merely an incremental improvement, addressing a technical hurdle without fundamentally altering the nature of robotic work or deployment strategies.
