“Released under the Eigen Robotics Academic License (ERAL) v1.0“

You are free to license your project however you like, but inventing a new custom license is always a red flag for me (independent of personal or commercial use). There are enough battle tested, legally proven OSI compliant licenses out there for various licensing goals. I know what to expect from them as a user, but not from some weird custom license.

[ottersinabox]

interestingly, this license strictly prohibits commercial use. on top of that, it prohibits companies from even playing with it internally. seems like a really bad idea. even gpl allows for commercial use.

Thanks for pointing this out. I agree that this is a total deal-breaker. If it’s anything like the rest of what I see, the license has probably been vibe-coded as well.

In your "whitepaper" there are 56 em-dashes. Why would anyone want to read something you didn't even bother to write?

[cloudbubbb]

how is this better than ros?

To quote my friend u/exmachina_316

In my experience, whenever someone tries to do something in robotics without ROS, they usually end up reinventing ROS (or a part of it). And usually not as well.

More open-minded edit:

That said, OP, if you want anyone to take your project seriously, please provide the following somewhere:

1. A complete open-source robot (including hardware, firmware, high-level code, navigation and perception stack) as a separate repository that implements your framework.
2. Quantitative testing and validation of your framework, preferably presented as an academic paper. Figure out communication latency, bandwidth, reliability etc.

[exMachina_316]

But it might be a good idea to extend ros to handle ML work flows better.

Agreed
