ROS message format

ROS (Robot Operating System) messages are structured data formats used for communication between different parts of a robotic system. They define how information like sensor readings, commands, or status updates are organized, using a set of labeled fields with specific data types (e.g., integers, floats, text). Think of a message as a well-organized packet of information that allows various software components to understand and share data consistently. This standardized approach ensures seamless integration, making it easier for different modules—like cameras, controllers, or navigation systems—to work together effectively within the robot's software ecosystem.
