Can Physical Safety Applications be Addressed by Open Source Software Systems? The Linux Foundation's ELISA Project Says Yes
By Arti LoftusApril 23, 2021
The physical and digital worlds are continually coalescing, especially as "co-botting" and other solutions are enabling human beings to work side-by-side with machines to get work done faster, more profitably, and with higher yield and quality outcomes.
One of the best examples of a community of interest coming together to create safety-critical applications and systems is the Linux Foundation's ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) Project.
This unique, two-year-old open-source initiative aims to create a shared set of tools and processes to help companies build and certify Linux-based solutions, this week announced that Codethink, Horizon Robotics, Huawei Technologies, NVIDIA, and Red Hat has joined its global ecosystem.
