ros2

ROS 2, or Robot Operating System 2, is the second major version of the Robot Operating System, an open-source set of software libraries and tools for building robot applications. Developed by Open Robotics, ROS 2 aims to address the limitations and challenges of its predecessor, ROS, by introducing new features and improvements. One of the key improvements is the use of DDS (Data Distribution Service) as the middleware, which provides better performance, scalability, and real-time capabilities. ROS 2 also supports multiple programming languages, including Python, C++, and Java, and has a more modular architecture, allowing for easier integration of different robotics components. The system is designed to be more secure, with features such as authentication and encryption, and is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms. ROS 2 is widely used in the robotics community for research, development, and deployment of robotic systems.
