Description
ROS (Robot Operating System) is a software to standardize communication between robotic applications. Communication between components is performed using messages channels named "topic". A gateway named ROSBridge allow ROS components to controlled from a web browser that supports HTML5 WebSockets protocol. The gateway converts ROS topics in JSON objects used in a web application. JavaScript is the default language of many modern web browsers (Firefox, Google Chrome, ...) but this is a limited language as soon as you want to
build reusable components. ROSTalk is a prototype developed by Serge Stinckwich based on Amber Smalltalk, which allows to use the language Smalltalk from a web browser in order to control robotic software.
