Forgive my ignorance ... What does ROS mean, exactly?
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a set of software libraries and tools that help you build robot applications. For example, ROS processes ("rosnodes") can easily communicate with each other by publishing/subscribing to topics. It also has visualization, debugging, storing and playing data, simulation, etc...
ROS is the standard in robot systems, it has a large community with most state-of-the-art algorithms in robotics implemented in ROS.
Check this 3min video explaining ROS.
Thanks for the info! I had only seen this community before it had any other info in it that was helpful, so that definitely helps a lot.
