==History and milestones==

{{Comment}} This section should be rewritten narratively.

{{Comment}} Also, a section on ROS2 should be added to the end.

===2007===

* ROS was started by borrowing the best practices from many early open source robotic software frameworks including ''switchyard'' by the [[Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory]] in support of the Stanford AI Robot STAIR (STanford AI Robot) project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stair.stanford.edu/|title=STAIR|website=stair.Stanford.edu|access-date=12 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{citation |title=STAIR: Hardware and Software Architecture |first1=Morgan |last1=Quigley |first2=Eric |last2=Berger |first3=Andrew Y. |last3=Ng |author3-link=Andrew Ng |year=2007 |url=http://www.aaai.org/Papers/Workshops/2007/WS-07-15/WS07-15-008.pdf |publisher=AAAI 2007 Robotics Workshop}}</ref>

Line 130 ⟶ 134:

* 9/29/2018: ROSCon 2018 in Madrid.

*11/26/2018: Amazon launches AWS RoboMaker. The cloud-based service utilizes Robot Operating System (ROS) to offer developers a place to develop and test robotics applications.

==Concepts and Construction==

{{Comment}} Create new section explaining computation graph, nodes, topics, etc.

{{Comment}} Also emphasize the decentralized, tool-oriented nature of ROS, like GNU.

==ROS Tools==

{{Comment}} Highlight the most important tools in ROS here, like:

===rviz===

===rosbag===

===rosbash===

===roslaunch===

==ROS Packages==

{{Comment}} Highlight important and standard packages, things like actionlib, nodelets, cv_bridge, gmapping, amcl.

==Applications==

Line 161 ⟶ 185:

=== ROS-Industrial ===

{{Comment}} Move to History Section and edit.

ROS-Industrial<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rosindustrial.org/about/description/|title=ROS-Industrial About|website=rosindustrial.org|access-date=12 December 2017}}</ref> is an open-source project (BSD (legacy) / Apache 2.0 (preferred) license) that extends the advanced capabilities of ROS to manufacturing automation and robotics. The ROS-Industrial repository includes interfaces for common industrial manipulators, grippers, sensors, and device networks. It also provides software libraries for automatic 2D/3D sensor calibration, process path/motion planning, applications like Scan-N-Plan, developer tools like the Qt Creator ROS Plugin, and training curriculum that is specific to the needs of manufacturers. ROS-I is supported by an international Consortium of industry and research members. The project began as a collaborative endeavor between Yaskawa Motoman Robotics, Southwest Research Institute, and Willow Garage to support the use of ROS for manufacturing automation, with the GitHub repository being founded in January 2012 by Shaun Edwards (SwRI). Currently, the Consortium is divided into three groups; the ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas (led by SwRI and located in San Antonio, Texas), the ROS-Industrial Consortium Europe (led by Fraunhofer IPA and located in Stuttgart, Germany) and the ROS-Industrial Consortium Asia Pacific (led by Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and located in Singapore).

==Version history==

{{Comment}} Update this table with more accurate descriptions than "old version", add ROS N, and move to history section

{{Comment}} Also add a table for ROS2 versions.

ROS releases may be incompatible with other releases and are often referred to by code name rather than version number. The major releases so far are:

==Ports to robots and boards==

{{Comment}} Split into robot and board ports, expand, and provide pictures of robots if possible.

* ABB, Adept, Fanuc, Motoman, and Universal Robots are supported by [[ROS-Industrial]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rosindustrial.org/|title=Home|website=ROS-Industrial|access-date=12 December 2017}}</ref>
