Introduction: I will be discovering what Robot Operating System is. The advantages and disadvantages of ROS. I will be looking for companies that using ROS for their products. Robots that use ROS and what I took from this research.
Robot Operating System(ROS) is an operating system made for robots. According to Gnration Robots Blog, ROS is developed and maintained by a Californian company, Willow Garage, formed in 2006 by Scott Hassan, one of Google’s first employees who was involved in the development of search engine technology and who was also behind Yahoo. On the other side of the coin, Elisabeth Eitel a machine designer says that ROS is not like a regular operating system. According to Eitel, ROS is not an operating system or software …show more content…

Todd Hester, some benefits of ROS is the reusability, ROS reuse existing drivers and code written for other robots, platforms, and research projects. ROS being portability, which makes it easier to switch to another robotic platform. The last being ROS is easier to expand …show more content…

First one is called 4DOF which is an articulated planar arm and the second on is called 5DOF which is an articulated planar arm + rotating base configurations. The Hekateros platforms are ideal for applications and research in robotic control systems because of their use of visual-servoing, machine intelligence, artistic installations, and light manufacturing.

Conclusion: When I went into researching Robot Operating System (ROS) I honestly didn’t think I would be interested much in robotics. When I was doing research on ROS I found out that there are two sides to ROS. On one side, there are those who think and use ROS as a regular operating systems. On the other side is those who use ROS as a platform and believe the ROS is not an operating system. I was able to learn the benefits, which were a lot, of ROS and the disadvantages, which was very little, of ROS. I find some nice pictures of what a ROS robot but with me, I would not know if they used ROS or another operating
