What is ROS 2?
Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) is the most widely used open-source framework for building robot applications. Despite its name, ROS 2 is not an operating system — it is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions for developing robot software.
Why ROS 2?
- Industry-standard framework adopted by major robotics companies
- Built-in support for real-time systems and multi-robot coordination
- Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, Windows, macOS)
- Massive community and ecosystem of packages
Getting Started
Begin your ROS 2 journey by installing on Ubuntu 22.04, learning the basics of nodes, topics, and services, then building your first robot application.
