Abstract Collaborative robots are becoming part of intelligent automation systems in modern industry. Development and control of such systems differs from traditional automation methods and consequently leads to new challenges. Thankfully, Robot Operating System (ROS) provides a communication platform and a vast variety of tools and utilities that

In this paper, a ROS2 based communication architecture is presented together with an industrial use-case of a collaborative and intelligent automation system.
