ROS for the rest of us

A talk by Patrick Goebel of Pi Robot about ROS. At this point ROS is sufficiently commonly used that I expect that it's the way that things are likely to go, at least within the academic and hobby domains, within the next few years. It's also possible that commercial products could be based upon ROS (with some caveats for the patented feature detectors within OpenCV), since it's under a very permissive BSD license.

So far I've written a few things for ROS. There are some drivers for Phidgets devices, a driver for a USB to I2C converter and also a driver for use with a stereo camera and v4l2stereo.
