Robot Operating System
A Robot Operating System, or ROS, is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior across a wide variety of robotic platforms. ROS provides services such as hardware abstraction, device drivers, communication between processes, package management, and more. It is widely used in research and industry for developing robotic applications and has a large and active community of developers contributing to its growth and functionality.
