Robot Operating System (ROS)

Robot Operating System (ROS) is a general purpose mechanism that provides unified protocols for reusable robot modules. It allows developers to focus on robot logic rather than recreating basic functions. ROS uses nodes, messages, topics, and services to allow loose coupling between modules. It also includes Gazebo, a 3D simulator compatible with ROS that can be used to test robot models in virtual worlds and simulate robot physics.

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

- 3D world simulator compatible with ROS

- Use your own robot model

- Create worlds to simulate the robot in it

- Test the physics of the robot
