Robot Operating System (ROS) is a software framework for robot software development, providing operating system-like functionality on a heterogeneous computer cluster. 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 the services you would expect from an operating system, including hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. ROS is widely used in research and commercial applications, and is the de facto standard for robotics software development. It is used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and entertainment. ROS is also used in education, allowing students to learn robotics concepts and develop their own robotic applications. Companies in the ROS market include Open Robotics, Clearpath Robotics, Robotiq, Fetch Robotics, and Ubiquity Robotics. Show Less Read more
