ros

Core ROS packages

rosdistro

This repo maintains a lists of repositories for each ROS distribution

ros_tutorials

Code used in tutorials found on ROS wiki

ros_comm

ROS communications-related packages, including core client libraries (roscpp, rospy, roslisp) and graph introspection tools (rostopic, rosnode, rosservice, rosparam).

solidworks_urdf_exporter

SolidWorks to URDF Exporter

meta-ros

OpenEmbedded Layers for ROS 1 and ROS 2

catkin

A CMake-based build system that is used to build all packages in ROS.

geometry2

A set of ROS packages for keeping track of coordinate transforms.

common_msgs

Commonly used messages in ROS. Includes messages for actions (actionlib_msgs), diagnostics (diagnostic_msgs), geometric primitives (geometry_msgs), robot navigation (nav_msgs), and common sensors (sensor_msgs), such as laser range finders, cameras, point clouds.

geometry

Packages for common geometric calculations including the ROS transform library, "tf". Also includes ROS bindings for "bullet" physics engine and "kdl" kinematics/dynamics package.

executive_smach

A procedural python-based task execution framework with ROS integration.

cheatsheet

The ROS Cheatsheet source

urdfdom

actionlib

Provides a standardized interface for interfacing with preemptable tasks. Examples of this include moving the base to a target location, performing a laser scan and returning the resulting point cloud, detecting the handle of a door, etc.

diagnostics

Packages related to gathering, viewing, and analyzing diagnostics data from robots.

roscpp_core

ros distribution sandbox

rosbag_snapshot

robot_state_publisher

Allows you to publish the state of a robot (i.e the position of its base and all joints) via the "tf" transform library

xacro

Xacro is an XML macro language. With xacro, you can construct shorter and more readable XML files by using macros that expand to larger XML expressions.

urdf_parser_py

Standalone URDF parser for Python.

urdf

Repository for URDF parsing code

kdl_parser

kdl_parser and kdl_parser_py provide tools to construct a KDL tree from an XML robot representation in URDF.

common_tutorials

ROS common_tutorials stack migrated from https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/common_tutorials/branches/common_tutorials-0.1/

angles

pluginlib

Library for loading/unloading plugins in ROS packages during runtime

dynamic_reconfigure

roslisp

Client library for writing ROS nodes in idiomatic Common Lisp

nodelet_core

Allows one to create "nodelets" -- ROS node-like entities that run within the same process so as to avoid IPC and serialization overhead

filters

This library provides a standardized interface for processing data as a sequence of filters. This package contains a base class upon which to build specific implementations as well as an interface which dynamically loads filters based on runtime parameters.

robot_model

Contains packages for modeling various aspects of robot information, specified in the Xml Robot Description Format (URDF). The core package of this stack is urdf, which parses URDF files, and constructs an object model (C++) of the robot.

Maintains a bond (i.e. heart beat ) between ROS nodes and provides feedback when the bond is broken

class_loader

ROS-independent library for dynamic class (i.e. plugin) introspection and loading from runtime libraries

ros-overlay

Gentoo Overlay for ROS packages

cmake_modules

A common repository for CMake Modules which are not distributed with CMake but are commonly used by ROS packages.
