Robot Operating System (ROS)

Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source software framework used to build and control robotic systems. It provides tools, libraries, and standards that help developers create, test, and integrate robot software more efficiently. ROS is widely used for tasks such as sensor integration, motion planning, navigation, and robot communication. It is popular in both research and commercial robotics because it supports a wide range of hardware and simulators. Robot Operating System acts as a foundation that simplifies the development of complex robotic applications.
