The Robot Operating System (ROS1 &2): Programming Paradigms and Deployment

摘要

The amount of knowledge needed to deploy a robotic system can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, many individual problems were solved already, including software ecosystems to simulate and then deploy our robots seamlessly. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source solution addressing this critical sharing need for robotic sensing, control, planning, simulation, and deployment. Not to be confused with a library, it is a software ecosystem (the concept of an operating system might be too strong) facilitating the integration, maintenance, and deployment of new functionalities and hardware from simulations to physical deployment.
