ROS core stacks

rosdistro

This repo maintains a lists of repositories for each ROS distribution

ros_tutorials

Code used in tutorials found on ROS wiki

ros_comm

ROS communications-related packages, including core client libraries (roscpp, rospy, roslisp) and graph introspection tools (rostopic, rosnode, rosservice, rosparam).

meta-ros

OpenEmbedded Layers for ROS 1 and ROS 2

solidworks_urdf_exporter

SolidWorks to URDF Exporter

catkin

A CMake-based build system that is used to build all packages in ROS.

urdf_tutorial

common_msgs

Commonly used messages in ROS. Includes messages for actions (actionlib_msgs), diagnostics (diagnostic_msgs), geometric primitives (geometry_msgs), robot navigation (nav_msgs), and common sensors (sensor_msgs), such as laser range finders, cameras, point clouds.

executive_smach

A procedural python-based task execution framework with ROS integration.

urdfdom

URDF parser

diagnostics

Packages related to gathering, viewing, and analyzing diagnostics data from robots.

robot_state_publisher

Allows you to publish the state of a robot (i.e the position of its base and all joints) via the "tf" transform library

rosbag_snapshot

xacro

Xacro is an XML macro language. With xacro, you can construct shorter and more readable XML files by using macros that expand to larger XML expressions.

kdl_parser

kdl_parser and kdl_parser_py provide tools to construct a KDL tree from an XML robot representation in URDF.

pluginlib

Library for loading/unloading plugins in ROS packages during runtime

dynamic_reconfigure

nodelet_core

Allows one to create "nodelets" -- ROS node-like entities that run within the same process so as to avoid IPC and serialization overhead

filters

This library provides a standardized interface for processing data as a sequence of filters. This package contains a base class upon which to build specific implementations as well as an interface which dynamically loads filters based on runtime parameters.

bond_core

Maintains a bond (i.e. heart beat ) between ROS nodes and provides feedback when the bond is broken

class_loader

ROS-independent library for dynamic class (i.e. plugin) introspection and loading from runtime libraries

ros-overlay

Gentoo Overlay for ROS packages

sdformat_urdf

A urdf_parser_plugin using libsdformat to parse SDFormat XML into URDF structures

geometry_tutorials

ROS geometry_tutorials stack migrated from https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/tutorials/branches

roslint

Lint macros for ROS packages

urdfdom_headers

Headers for URDF parsers

urdf_launch

Launch files for common URDF operations

ros_realtime

resource_retriever

Package used to retrieve resources of different kinds, e.g. http://, file://, the ROS specific package://, etc.
