ROS

I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with the robot operating system. I have the mechanical skills of a two year old, along with no free time, but I got my old netbook's webcam to stream video to a face detector and output an indication when a face was detected after about fifteen minutes of work. I other words, it seems to be a very powerful set of tools. Has anyone else done anything interesting with it?

Face detection isn't too hard, you can probably do it in 15 minutes just with a raw video feed and an edge detect filter.

Face detection is a module available in ros, and if you can write a face detector in 15 minutes, please post your code. This should be entertaining.

So what are you asking exactly? That if there are operating systems you can implement mechanics/procedures with, or that if there are face detection/contrast evaluation libraries?

Unless this is another, "what are you working on thread?":

No, there's a set of tools called ROS, as in www.ros.org.

>>5 Ok so you are asking if we know about it, and give advise on it? Even when compared to other RTOS?:
