About this Unit
Robot Operating System (ROS) is a software integration system that is now widely used for robotics software deployment. The philosophy behind ROS is to modularise software that can work for other robots through small changes in the code. This unit focuses on the main concepts of software development under ROS by looking at the file hierarchical systems (e.g. Packages, Stacks, Messages, Services and others), module communication types through Nodes, Topics, Services, Messages, Bags, Master and how they integrate to operate robot sensors and actuators. This unit also looks at actual AI software examples using C++/Python and Answer Set Programming (ASP).
