Our Linux-powered robotic future
Erle Robotics, which makes inexpensive components for DIY robotics projects and drones announed PXFmini, a shield designed for the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero that includes a suite of sensors including gravity, gyroscope, compass, pressure, temperature, and battery sensors. This shield is intended for use in robotic drones.
It uses the Robotic Operating System (ROS), an open source framework developed by Willow Garage, released under a free license in 2009. ROS is now maintained by the Open Source Robotics Foundation. In 2014, OSRF announced plans to add ARM Linux support to the Robot Operating System (ROS).
