• [$] A look at the Robot Operating System

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Oct 4 06:40:08 2025
    Despite its name, the Robot
    Operating System (ROS) is not an operating system; it is
    a software development kit (SDK) that provides building blocks for
    robotic applications. One of the main goals of ROS is to present a
    common API that abstracts away the details of particular hardware
    drivers or algorithms to make development easier; developers can focus
    on what a robot should do rather than the low-level details of
    specific controllers. The latest release of ROS, Kilted
    Kaiju, features improvements to the middleware layer that is used
    to deliver data between components.
