Willow Garage was a robotics research lab and technology incubator devoted to developing hardware and open source software for personal robotics applications.[2] The company was best known for its open source software suite Robot Operating System (ROS), which rapidly become a common, standard tool among robotics researchers upon its initial release in 2010.[3] It was begun in late 2006 by Scott Hassan, who had worked with Larry Page and Sergey Brin to develop the technology that became the Google Search engine.[4] Steve Cousins was the president and CEO. Willow Garage was located in Menlo Park, California.[5]
Willow Garage shut down in early 2014. Most employees were retained by Suitable Technologies, Inc, while the support and services responsibilities were transferred to Clearpath Robotics.[6][7] Willow Garage's website, however, remained open until April 20th, 2021.
