To paraphrase
ros.org:
"ROS is an open-source, meta-operating system for your robot. It
provides the services you would expect from an operating system,
including hardware abstraction, low-level device control,
implementation of commonly-used functionality, message-passing between
processes, and package management." (
http://www.ros.org/wiki/)
ROS is gaining a lot of traction in the robotics community right now
and will hopefully will help to cut down the amount of reinventing the
wheel going on in the robotics research community. There's a lot of
stuff available for ROS, including a Point Cloud Library (PCL) stack
currently mostly used for manipulation of tabletop objects.
