Overview
The focus of this project is learning ROS, SW architecture, AI algorithms and navigation. ROS is of great value because it allows me to pick and choose what I want to learn and what I want to reuse. The goal is to have fun and keep a recently retired SW architect mind in the game. There is no attempt to make this site of value to anyone else. However, I certainly don't mind if you find it of value.
Robot Operating System (ROS) is a software framework for robot software development, providing operating system-like functionality on a heterogenous computer cluster. ROS was originally developed in 2007 under the name switchyard by the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in support of the Stanford AI Robot (STAIR) project. As of 2008, development continues primarily at Willow Garage, a robotics research institute/incubator. In 2013 it was picked up by the Open Source Robotics Foundation ROS Wikipedia Overview
