ROS messages

ROS (Robot Operating System) messages are structured data formats used for communication between different parts of a robotic system. Think of them as standardized forms or messages that carry specific information—like sensor readings, commands, or status updates—between modules. This consistency allows various components, possibly from different manufacturers or developers, to understand and coordinate effectively. Essentially, ROS messages facilitate organized, real-time data exchange within a robot, enabling it to perform complex tasks through collaborative, interconnected processes.
