Announcing the Hardware Robot Information Model (HRIM)

Great work, Victor and everyone working with you! I hope this is adopted widely!

I have some questions about your relationship with standards.

  • How exactly are you compatible with the (draft) ISO 22166-1?
  • How are you compatible with HAL4RT? There are two versions of that specification proposed; the first has died and the second was rejected because it doesn’t contain anything of use to robotics. The proposed APIs are also not compatible with ROS.
  • How do you support OpenEL 3.0, which is a private commercial project (not an international standard)? Do you provide an implementation of its APIs? They don’t seem compatible with ROS, to me.
