The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a large collection of open-source software for robotics that has, over the past decade, allowed more rapid progress in the field than was possible in the past. The ROS software includes all of the low-level "plumbing" that roboticists used to write for themselves to make motors turn, to get data from their sensors, and to implement basic competences like moving around the world. It supports a wide array of robot hardware, and is increasingly being used by companies across the country. ROS is written and maintained by a large collection of volunteers from around the world and, like any large open-source project, has some management challenges. Under this award, we will identify these challenges, and come up with concrete solutions for them, to ensure that ROS remains as useful over the coming decade as it was in the past.This planning award will survey the ROS community to identify the areas of the ecosystem and management best practices that need improvement, with the goal of writing a Community Research Infrastructure proposal to implement these changes. We will deploy on-line surveys to the community, and hold focused workshops at both the ROS Developers Conference and more general robotics conferences. We will analyze the data from these surveys and workshops, alongside more concrete data from the existing infrastructure (wiki, Q&A site, etc) to determine what the most pressing community needs are, and then propose strategies to directly address them in a sustainable manner that continues to engage the community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

机器人操作系统（ROS）是用于机器人技术的大量开源软件，在过去的十年中，该软件在该领域的进步比过去更快。 ROS软件包括机器人用来为自己编写的所有低级“管道”，以使电动机转弯，从传感器中获取数据，并实施基本能力，例如在世界各地移动。 它支持各种各样的机器人硬件，并且越来越多地被全国各地的公司使用。 ROS是由来自世界各地的大量志愿者撰写和维护的，就像任何大型开源项目一样，都有一些管理挑战。 根据该奖项，我们将确定这些挑战，并为它们提出具体解决方案，以确保ROS在未来十年中保持与过去一样有用。该规划奖将调查ROS社区，以确定生态系统和管理最佳实践的最佳实践，以撰写社区研究基础建设基础提案以实施这些变化。 我们将在线调查向社区部署，并在ROS开发人员会议和更一般的机器人会议上举办专注的研讨会。 We will analyze the data from these surveys and workshops, alongside more concrete data from the existing infrastructure (wiki, Q&A site, etc) to determine what the most pressing community needs are, and then propose strategies to directly address them in a sustainable manner that continues to engage the community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review 标准。
