The open-source middleware standard for building production-grade robotics applications across distributed hardware.

ROS 2 provides the essential middleware for scaling robotics from prototypes to production fleets. It utilizes DDS (Data Distribution Service) for secure, real-time messaging across distributed nodes. Developers leverage a robust ecosystem: RViz for 3D visualization, Gazebo for high-fidelity simulation, and the Nav2 stack for autonomous navigation. Current long-term support (LTS) distributions like Humble Hawksbill provide five years of stability for industrial deployments. It serves as the core framework for industry leaders including Amazon (AWS RoboMaker) and iRobot (Roomba).
