The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior across a wide variety of robotic platforms. In our experience, research in robotics at the moment *and* deployment in many real-life systems is highly centered around ROS. This is not to say that one must use ROS for doing robotics. But it is definately a very viable choice! There is a massive community around and this is not by chance. Thus, we here collected some selected resources on how to go about learning to use, work and code in the Robot Operating System.
