Madrid, February 2019
Apex.AI, a leading producer of software for autonomous mobility systems, is developing Apex.OS which is a safe, secure, robust and certified version of ROS 2. Apex.OS is using open source eProsima Fast RTPS product as one of its two backbone middlewares.
eProsima Fast RTPS product is a high-performance publish-subscribe framework to share data in distributed systems using a decoupled model based on Publishers, Subscribers and Data Topics.
It is an open source and its latest version 1.7 was launched recently surprising with such new features as TCP Transport, Dynamic Topic Types, and Security 1.1. Apex.OS has chosen eProsima Fast RTPS product as one of its two backbone middlewares.
