What is ROS?
ROS (Robot Operating System) 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. ROS is widely used in research and industry for tasks such as robot navigation, manipulation, perception, and simulation.
What other technologies are related to ROS?
ROS Competitor Technologies
ROS2
ROS2 is the successor to ROS, offering improvements in real-time performance, security, and multi-robot support, making it a competing framework.
Webots
Webots is a commercial robot simulator which is an alternative to Gazebo.
V-REP
V-REP (now CoppeliaSim) is a robot simulator that competes with Gazebo.
MuJoCo
MuJoCo is a physics engine that can be used for robotics simulation, competing with Gazebo and other simulators.
Isaac Sim
Isaac Sim is a robot simulation environment by NVIDIA, thus a competitor to Gazebo and Webots.
AirSim
AirSim is a simulator commonly used for drone and autonomous vehicle research, alternative to Gazebo.
CARLA
