ROS Robot Operating System
Global Popular Robotic Communication Framework
ROS is an open-source meta operating system for robots. It provides some basic services, such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. And it also offers the tools and library functions needed to obtain, compile, write, and run code across computers. It aims at providing code reuse support for robotics research and development.
Gazebo Simulation
JetHexa is built on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and integrates with Gazebo simulation. This enables effortless control of the robot in a simulated environment, facilitating algorithm prevalidation to prevent potential errors. Gazebo provides visual data, allowing you to observe the motion trajectories of each endpoint and center. This visual feedback facilitates algorithm enhancement.
Body Simulation ControlThrough robot simulation control, algorithm verification of mapping navigation can be carried out to improve the iteration speed of the algorithm and reduce the cost of trial and error. |
