Robot Operating System (ROS or ros) is an open-source robotics middleware suite. Although ROS is not an operating system (OS) but a set of software frameworks for robot software development , it provides services designed for a heterogeneous computer cluster such as hardware abstraction , low-level device control , implementation of commonly ...
Open Robotics is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Mountain View, California.It is the primary maintainer of the Robot Operating System, and the Gazebo simulator. [1] [2] Its stated mission is to support "the development, distribution and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product development".
In spring of 2009, Helibot from the RoboCommunity has created a new driver to allow access to the Robot's Linux operating system via the USB port and a terminal program. This is now a part of the RSMedia Development Kit which is now available on SourceForge. Applications for RS Media can be found at the RobotAppStore
An open source iCub robot mounted on a supporting frame. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg. Open-source robotics is a branch of robotics where robots are developed with open-source hardware and free and open-source software, publicly sharing blueprints, schematics, and source code.
BrickOS is an open-source operating system created by Markus Noga as firmware to operate as an alternative software environment for the Lego Mindstorms Robotic Invention System. [1] BrickOS is the first open-source software made for Lego Mindstorms robots. It allows development using the C, C++, and Java programming languages.
Willow Garage was a robotics research lab and technology incubator devoted to developing hardware and open source software for personal robotics applications. [2] The company was best known for its open source software suite Robot Operating System (ROS), which rapidly became a common, standard tool among robotics researchers upon its initial release in 2010.

ROS (Robot Operating System) provides an eco-system to support cloud robotics. ROS is a flexible and distributed framework for robot software development. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behaviour across a wide variety of robotic platforms.
The Nao robot is controlled by a specialized Linux-based operating system, dubbed NAOqi. [4] The OS powers the robot's multimedia system, which includes four microphones (for voice recognition and sound localization ), two speakers (for multilingual text-to-speech synthesis) and two HD cameras (for computer vision , including facial and shape ...
