ROS: an open-source Robot Operating System
TLDR
This paper discusses how ROS relates to existing robot software frameworks, and briefly overview some of the available application software which uses ROS.Abstract:
This paper gives an overview of ROS, an opensource robot operating system. ROS is not an operating system in the traditional sense of process management and scheduling; rather, it provides a structured communications layer above the host operating systems of a heterogenous compute cluster. In this paper, we discuss how ROS relates to existing robot software frameworks, and briefly overview some of the available application software which uses ROS.read more
