    [$] A look at the Robot Operating System

    Description:
    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.
