Understanding ROS Nodes

By
Its a basic thing & main part in ROS.
Nodes are executables that can communicate with other processes using topics,
services, or the Parameter Server.
Node can be create in python , c++ , Lisp
Two nodes can communicate each other using topics (interchange meassage/data  )
Every nodes have to named by programmer.that name used to communicate or identified by other node.
roscpp is lib to create ros node in c++ & rospy for python language

In ROS have some  commands to retrieve the running nodes information

  • rosnode info node : This prints information about the node
  • rosnode kill node : This kills a running node or sends a given signal
  • rosnode list : This lists the active nodes
  • rosnode machine hostname : This lists the nodes running on a particular machine or lists the machines
  • rosnode ping node : This tests the connectivity to the node
  • rosnode cleanup : This purges registration information from unreachable nodes  
  • rqt_graph :  Provides a GUI plugin for visualizing the ROS computation graph.

roscore  is a collection of nodes and programs that are pre-requisites of a ROS-based system.roscore running is important to ros nodes communication

check it out how to use commands

Getting Started with ARGoS Large-Scale Swarm Robot Simulator in Ubuntu

By
ARGoS (Autonomous Robots Go Swarming) is a multi-robot simulator designed to support large teams of robots. Its design is pretty different from the design of other simulators. Its most distinctive feature is that the 3D simulated world can be divided in regions, and each region can be assigned to a different physics engine. Furthermore, ARGoS' design revolves around the concept of tunable accuracy. In other words, in ARGoS, everything is a plug-in (robot models, sensors, actuators, physics engines, visualisations, etc) and the user can select which plug-ins to use for an experiment.  Since different plug-ins have different accuracy and computational costs, users can choose which plug-ins to use for each aspect of the simulation and assign resources only where it matters. This makes the simulation as fast as possible. At the time of writing, ARGoS supports the Swarmanoid robots (foot-bot and eye-bot) and the e-puck. ARGoS supports Linux and Mac OSX. Binary packages are availa...

ROS Terminology

By
This section explains the most frequently used ROS terms. Use this section as a ROS glossary. Many terms may be new to the reader and even if there are unfamiliar terms, look over the definition and move on. You will become more familiar with the concepts as you engage with examples and exercises in each of the following chapters. ROS ROS provides standard operating system services such as hardware abstraction, device drivers,implementation of commonly used features including sensing, recognizing, mapping, motion planning, message passing between processes, package management, visualizers and libraries for development as well as debugging tools. Master  The master 2 acts as a name server for node-to-node connections and message communication. The command roscore is used to run the master, and if you run the master, you can register the name of each node and get information when needed. The connection between nodes and message communication such as topics and servic...
