ROS is a collection of tools and libraries that simplify the task of creating and programming robotic platforms and applications. ROS is not a real-time OS, but it can be integrated with RTOSes, as well as Linux. As of earlier this year, <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.ros.org\/android\" target=\"new\">Android support was added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The default install for ROS is Ubuntu Linux. Core ROS components include message passing, message recording and playback, remote procedure calls, and a distributed parameter system. In addition to these core middleware components, ROS offers more robotics-specific features like a Unified Robot Description Format (URDF), a remote geometry library, preemptable remote procedure calls, and diagnostics. It also offers ready-built packages for common robotics problems like mobile navigation, pose estimation, and building a map and having the robot self-localize on it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/linuxgizmos.com\/robot-os-to-support-linux-and-android-on-snapdragon\/\">Robot OS to support Linux and Android on Snapdragon\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 LinuxGizmos.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developed in large part by now defunct Willow Garage, ROS was designed for collaborative, open source robotics development.
