ROS (Robot Operating System) is an Open-Source Robotic Framework which allows to ease robot software development. The framework is used in almost each part of Ned’s software.

The Stack is split into two parts:

  • The High Level Packages (motion planner, vision, …), developed in Python to give good readability
  • The Low Level Packages (drivers, hardware management, …), developed in C++ to ensure real time capabilities.
