ROS 2 on Ubuntu 20.04 is now available on iWave
Summary
ROS provides functionality for hardware abstraction, device drivers, communication between processes over multiple machines, tools for testing and visualisation, and much more. The ROS 2 platform runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, allowing developers to seamlessly deploy on-robot autonomy, back-end management, and user interfaces. The tiered support model enables the introduction and promotion of ports to new platforms, such as real-time and embedded operating systems, as they gain interest and investment. Companies large and small from around the world are committing their resources to make open-source contributions to ROS 2, in addition to developing products on top. ROS applications are widespread, from agriculture to medical devices to vacuum cleaners but are growing to include all kinds of automation and dynamic use cases.
