In 2012, the ROS-Industrial open source project started as the collaboration of Yaskawa Motoman Robotics (http://www.motoman.com/), Willow Garage (https://www.willowgarage.com/), and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) (http://www.swri.org/), for using ROS in industrial manufacturing. The ROS-I was founded by Shaun Edwards in January 2012.
In March 2013, the ROS-I Consortium Americas was launched, led by SwRI, and ROS-I Consortium Europe was launched, led by Fraunhofer IPA in Germany.
