ROS

Robot Operating System — an open-source middleware framework providing tools, libraries, and conventions for building robot software. ROS provides a publish-subscribe messaging system (topics), services, actions, parameter server, and a vast ecosystem of community packages. ROS 1 (Melodic, Noetic) is being superseded by ROS 2 (Humble, Iron, Jazzy) with improved real-time, security, and multi-robot support.
