Introduction to Zephyr RTOS for Robotics Development

Introduction to Zephyr RTOS for Robotics Development

Robots are not isolated systems; they are a set of distributed sensors and actuators, often running on resource-constrained small embedded devices (microcontrollers) that communicate via wired or wireless connections. However, mainstream robotic operating systems like ROS/ROS2 are too large and heavy, making them unsuitable for robotic scenarios based on microcontrollers with hard real-time requirements. Zephyr … Read more
