Robot Operating System

(ROS)
What is ROS and its benefits?

- General purpose mechanism for robot modules

- Provides unified high-level protocols

- Code reuse and package management

- Loose-coupling between different modules

- Allows developers to focus on their robot logic rather than reinventing the wheel
How does it work?

- Nodes: modules/processes that perform computations

- Messages: a data structure that nodes use to communicate

- Topics: message transport layer with subscribe/public methods


How does it work?

- Services: message transport layer with


request/response interactions

- Master: stores connections

- Parameters: global variables


Gazebo

- Create worlds to simulate the robot in it

- Test the physics of the robot
