- Free and Open source
- Defines interfaces, components and tools for advanced robots.

- ROS helps build the components actuators, sensors and control systems using ROS tools – topics and messages.
- Messages can be send to visualization tools.
- ROS also work with simulator robot – digital twin
- ROS supports hardware interfaces for robot components
- ROS supports modular architector
