Air, land, sea, and space: Open source robot tools for all

Developing and deploying robots is hard, and harder still when the robots are sent to far-off places where they cannot be easily helped or serviced. Open Robotics aims to ease that difficulty through the use of high-quality open-source software for robot programming, simulation, and testing. In this seminar, Brian Gerkey will introduce two widely used open source toolsâ€"ROS (Robot Operating System) and Gazeboâ€"and show how they have been applied to a wide variety of challenging robot applications, both on Earth and elsewhere.
