ROS¶
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior across a wide variety of robotic platforms. ROS has chosen as CACIC’s framework because within it we can develop robotics software together with the community. Below are listed the packages that today are used and tested in the robot.

Description of the Robot¶
Custom package that contains the configuration files for CACIC, e.g. CAD, map, hardware configuration, hardware communication and navigation files. View the package in github.
p2os stack¶
The p2os is a stack, collection of packages that interface robot’s microcontroller with the ROS system.
