About ROS
ROS is a set of open-source libraries and tools for building robot software. It provides messaging between parts of a robot, hardware drivers, navigation, perception and many ready-made packages.
ROS 2, the current generation, adds better real-time support and security. A huge community shares packages for arms, mobile robots, drones and more, and many AI tools plug into it.
ROS is free and open source. It is the common foundation for research and industry robotics.
