How to Install ROS1 on reComputer

Introduction​

ROS, or Robot Operating System, is an open-source framework widely used in robotics development and research. Developed initially at Stanford University and later by Willow Garage, ROS1 supports heterogeneous computing platforms, various programming languages, and modular design. It features communication mechanisms via Topics, Services, and a Parameter Server, efficient package management with Catkin, and a rich set of development tools like rviz, gazebo, and rosbag, making it a vital tool for building and integrating complex robotic systems.
