- # Tutorial Track: Stretch ROS 2 (Beta)
-
- ## Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2)
-
- ROS 2 is the successor to ROS, The ROS in ROS 2 stands for "robot operating system", but despite the name, ROS is not an operating system. It's a middleware framework that is a collection of transport protocols, development and debugging tools, and open-source packages.
-
- As a transport protocol, ROS enables distributed communication via messages between nodes. As a development and debugging toolkit, ROS provides build systems that allow for writing applications in a wide variety of languages (Python and C++ are used in this tutorial track), a launch system to manage the execution of multiple nodes simultaneously, and command line tools to interact with the running system. Finally, as a popular ecosystem, there are many open-source ROS packages that allow users to quickly prototype with new sensors, actuators, planners, perception stacks, and more.
