Only released in EOL distros:
Package Summary
This package provides common functionality, especially plugin architecture for industrial robot controllers, much like the one in pr2_mechanism.
The plan is in the near future to utilize or integrate with existing other controller packages.

EXPERIMENTAL: This status indicates that this software is experimental code at best. There are known issues and missing functionality. The APIs are completely unstable and likely to change. Use in production systems is not recommended. All code starts at this level. For more information see the ROS-Industrial software status page. |
The development of this package is done and you're NOT encouraged to create new packages that depend on this. New users should consider using ros_control. Also, this package has nothing to do with any of ROS-Industrial packages.
Relationship to existing contoller components
The open_industrial_ros_controllers package project was originally started when there's no standard controller package in ROS in 2013. Now, with ros_control having been serving as a defacto standard controller package, all users are recommended to use that.
Note that being deprecated doesn't mean the package is unusable -- denso package that was developed originally along with open_industrial_ros_controllers still functions.
