Subj : [$] A look at the Robot Operating System To : All From : LWN.net Date : Sat Oct 04 2025 06:40:08 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. https://lwn.net/Articles/1031669/ --- SBBSecho 3.29-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
