Not middleware!

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Robot Operating System (ROS) is robotics middleware (i.e. collection of software frameworks for robot software development).

This is not what middleware is! Middleware are systems for distributed objects, such as DCOM, CORBA and late time replacements. Robot Operating System contains middleware, fair enough, but it is an operating system level collection of libraries intended for robotics fast prototyping (as far as I can tell). There is a non-middleware core, a middleware set of libraries (according to the real definition), and some more. Rursus dixit. (^mbork³!) 10:13, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
