The Robot Operating System (ROS) has a deeper foothold in the robotics industry than you might think. Since it was first developed in 2007, the open-source framework for developing robotics software ...

A robot is made up of many hardware components each of which requires its own software. Even a small robot arm with a handful of servo motors uses a servo motor library. Add that arm to a wheeled ...

The ROBOTCORE™ hardware acceleration framework helps roboticists build “robot chips” and make robot computations faster, more deterministic and power efficient through FPGAs and GPUs. VITORIA-GASTEIZ, ...

How Xilinx is simplifying the use of ROS 2 and FPGAs. What does the KR260 Robot Starter Kit offer? The Robot Operating System (ROS) has emerged as the middleware underlying most robotic systems these ...

Open-source software is giving rise to emerging breeds of quasi-commercial, prosthetic, and industrial robots. Robot Operating System (ROS) software — a suite of software libraries that help ...

The 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) wrapped up last month, and while teams from Korea and the U.S. took away $3.5M in prize money, the real winner was the open source robotics movement. Of the 23 ...
