基于开源操作系统ROS的机器人软件开发

ROS(机器人操作系统)是一套机器人软件框架,基于这一框架,人们可以快速开发出控制机器人的一系列应用,是目前大多数机器人系统的首选软件平台.扫地机器人、四轴飞行器、机器小车等,虽然各自的配件、外形或功能等各不相同,但是它们有一个共同点就是均运行在ROS系统框架之上.ROS本身的优良设计使其兼具了精简与集成、多语言多平台支持、点对点设计以及开源免费等特点.目前,越来越多的机器人厂商将基于ROS平台进行软件设计研发,而更多厂商的使用反过来又成为ROS的进一步完善与普及的巨大推动力.

Robot Software Development Based on Open-source Operating System ROS

The Robot Operating System(ROS) is a software framework.The engineer can quickly develop a robot application based on this framework.At present,many robots such as thesweeping robot and the four-axis aircraft,they all run on the ROS system framework although they have the respective parts,appearance or function and so on.The ROS has the characteristics such as simplification and integration,multi language and multi platform supporting,point to point design and open-source free.More and more robot manufacturers will develop based on ROS platform.The use of more manufacturers in turn to further improve and popularize ROS.
