Robot Operating System Description

Ultra-portable robot programming system Robot Operating System is a free and open source development environment for building robotics applications. Think of ROS as an operating system for your robot. As compared to other frameworks (e.g., Player, CARMEN, Orca), ROS is designed specifically for the forthcoming generation of mobile manipulation platforms. Installation instructions for Mac OS X can be found here.NOTE: Robot Operating System is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. Requirements: · Xcode What's New in This Release: · roslaunch can now accept rosrun-like syntax, where you just specify the package the file is in and the filename. roslaunch will locate the file inside the package for you, which saves the need to type full paths. · ''roslaunch names'': roslaunch will be requiring that tags have 'name' attributes in future releases of ROS. After much testing, we've determined that tags without names create many problems, especially in larger systems. We will also be able to implement better debugging tools and advanced roslaunch features with this new requirement. · '''': In order to make the migration to this new roslaunch name requirement possible, we have also introduced a new substitution argument for roslaunch: `$(anon id)` will generate an anonymous identifier based on `id`. Multiple uses of the same `id` generate the same anonymous identifier within the same roslaunch.
