Abstract

Robotics software is booming thanks in part to a rich and productive ecosystem around the Robot Operating System. We introduce a military effort to leverage the ROS ecosystem and reduce the challenges in building military robots, called ROS-M. We outline some of the work we have done on the ROS-M initiative, and explain our future directions in analyzing ROS code to balance between rapid adoption and confidence in the component.
