Overview

ROS, or Robot Operating System, is an open-source framework that helps developers create robot software. It provides tools and libraries for building robot applications, making it easier to program robots. In this introduction, students will learn the basics of ROS, how it works, and its importance in robotics. By understanding ROS, students can start building their own robotic systems and applications.
