If aliens from beyond our solar system or even our galaxy were to land on Earth and wanted to communicate with intelligent machines that can move around and shake hands, chances are that one of the first in line to greet our otherworldly visitors will be a robot with a brain built using the Robot Operating System.

ROS was then extended by Willow Garage, and that’s when it really started taking off. [Read more…] about All’s well that ROS well: Robot Operating System taking over the world
