RDP 013: The Need For Robotics Standards




The ROS Developers Podcast show

Summary:  In this episode I would like to talk about the need that robotics developers have of having a standard for robotics (in terms of API). By having a robotics standard, developers can concentrate on building solutions that do not have to be re-implemented whenever the robot hardware changes. Actually, given the middleware structure, developers can disassociate so much from the hardware that they can almost rely 100% of its time in the software realm while
