rosserial
A ROS client library for connecting small embedded devices like Arduino to the Robot Operating System.
What is rosserial?
rosserial is a ROS client library specifically designed for small embedded devices like Arduino boards. It enables these resource-constrained devices to communicate with the Robot Operating System, allowing them to publish sensor data and subscribe to control commands as ROS nodes. The project solves the problem of integrating low-power microcontrollers into complex robotic systems that use ROS for communication and control.
Robotics developers and engineers working with embedded systems who need to integrate Arduino or other microcontrollers into ROS-based robotic applications. This includes researchers, hobbyists, and professionals building robots with sensor networks or distributed control systems.
Developers choose rosserial because it provides a standardized, lightweight way to connect embedded devices to ROS without requiring significant computational resources on the microcontroller. It offers a well-established protocol that's widely supported in the ROS ecosystem, making it easier to integrate various hardware components into robotic systems.
