ROS 2

The Robot Operating System (ROS) provides a comprehensive suite of software libraries and tools essential for developing robot applications. It offers everything from hardware drivers to advanced algorithms, complemented by powerful developer tools, making it an ideal foundation for any robotics project. ROS is entirely open-source.

ROS offers different release versions, including the latest short-term release, Kilted Kaiju, for Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 10, and the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release, Jazzy Jalisco, also supporting Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 10. Installation guides and support are readily available.

Community support is multifaceted, with extensive documentation and tutorials for ROS 2, platforms for asking and answering questions, and forums for the latest discussions. All ROS versions are accessible.

Recent updates include the availability of ROSCon 2024 videos, sponsored by AMD, which can be found on the ROSCon website, YouTube, and within the ROS documentation. Additionally, recent discussions from the ROS Discourse are highlighted, providing ongoing community engagement and insights.
