Middleware

You might say: ROS 2, message passing

Middleware lets independent programs exchange typed messages and invoke services or actions over named interfaces.

What it does

It separates components so teams can replace, inspect and deploy them independently.

Ask

What message type, QoS, latency and update rate does each interface need?

Catalogue: Middleware

• ROS 2: ROS 2 uses nodes and typed topics, services and actions; DDS-backed QoS can tune reliability, durability and deadlines.
• ROS 1: ROS 1 Noetic was marked end-of-life on 31 May 2025.
• In-house framework: A project-owned framework can use a custom in-house binary format instead of ROS.
