The Robot Operating System, as it's defined in the Wikipedia, is a set of software frameworks for robots. I want to know what are the practical uses of this operating system? are there any example of the uses out there ? or it is just for research purposes ?
What kind of help can I get from the ROS in my Robotic researches ?!
ROS is a software package which help robotic researchers to do their works in offline (mostly). For using, it is not necessary to know mathematical background of the robot says kinematics and dynamics.
It has several advanced features which enable robotic researchers to work very easy and convenient way.
There are several things, better you start using and you will find the importance. It is not hard to learn as well
Operating System (OS) supports the user easier to perform what must the Robot do.
There are many Input and output Devices in a Robot's system .i.e Speaker, Monitor,
control Panel, Camera etc. OS coordinate, schedule, managed the Task. API is a program Interface needed and device drivers. Signal terminal handling, File system swapping block and memory controllers.
The major benefit is that ROS avoids the need to develop your own code for many aspects of robot control. So, if your robot needs to process images from its camera then ROS will already have a module for that. There are some great books to help you learn ROS with examples - here's one, but there are others https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gentle-Introduction-ROS-Jason-OKane/dp/1492143235
Hi Salah Eddine,
A conference on the subject was held in 2015; Here's link:
ros-industrial - Fraunhofer IPA - Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
www.ipa.fraunhofer.de/.../user.../2015_06_09_ROS-Industrial.pdf
Also a very interecent paper published in Journal of Human-Robot Interaction is the title and the link:
The Robot Management System: A Framework for Conducting Human-Robot Interaction Studies Through Crowdsourcing. Russell Toris, David Kent, and Sonia Chernova Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Best regards
ROS simplifies integration by standardized methods for data sharing.
There are very usable tools for development and testing such as Rosbag which allows for recording and playback of a data sharing sequence.

Hi
Try to visit the following website and it wil direct you to the advantages and disadvantageshttp://answers.ros.org/question/200423/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-using-ros/
Good luck
Hello everybody,
Well I have came to a position where I can answer this question myself. To my point of view, we must treat ROS benefits as a simulation tool and an operating system for robots.
ROS in simulation, it provides the user with a set of tools like Gazebo robot simulator and Rviz for maps and navigation simulations. It does not provide the most straightforward way to simulate robotic experiments but it provides a clean way if it is well understood. I mean by clean, the way in which we can easily try and implement a set of different path planning methods in the same navigation experiment for example, just by treating them as blocks that can be easily replaced.
ROS in real robotic programming, now here where ROS shines the most, because it offers a complete operating system for any robotic working machine. It facilitates communication between sensors, motors in a well structured fashion. Add to that many facilities for communication: for example controlling robots from other machines ...
ROS is a clever, well structured system that imitates the operating systems for computers to facilitate the robots programming.
Cheers
