ACADA Robotics Designs Software Definable Control Cards for use with the Robot Operating System.
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open source framework that helps researchers and developers create and reuse code between robotics applications. ROS is also a global open source community of engineers, developers and tinkerers helping to make robots better, more accessible and available to everyone.
ROS has been adopted into some of the biggest names in robotics. The majority of organisations are either using ROS as it can be installed by anyone or a fork of ROS in some form. And the use-cases are still growing. ROS is used across numerous industries from agriculture to medical devices to vacuum cleaners but is spreading to include all kinds of automation and software-defined dynamic use-cases.
ROSRider is a parametric robotics control card, designed with ROS use in mind. Configured with a YAML file, it allows ROS control any differential or ackerman drive robot up to a certain size.
