      The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a set of software libraries and tools that help you build robot applications. For example, ROS processes (“rosnodes”) can easily communicate with each other by publishing/subscribing to topics. It also has visualization, debugging, storing and playing data, simulation, etc…

      ROS is the standard in robot systems, it has a large community with most state-of-the-art algorithms in robotics implemented in ROS.
