ros2/ros2

The Robot Operating System, is a meta operating system for robots.

What it solves

It provides a standardized set of software libraries and tools to simplify the process of building complex robot applications, removing the need for developers to write everything from scratch.

How it works

ROS acts as a framework that offers everything from low-level hardware drivers to high-level state-of-the-art algorithms, supported by a suite of developer tools to streamline the creation of robotics software.

Who it’s for

Robotics developers and researchers who need a robust, open-source ecosystem to build and deploy robot applications.

Highlights

  • Open source libraries and tools
  • Support for hardware drivers
  • Integration of state-of-the-art algorithms
  • Comprehensive developer toolset
