Hello ROS Users :) The Working Group EOS(Embedded and Operating Systems) at the Department for Computer Science of the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany likes to announce their new ROS repository. You can find it at https://svn-eos.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/repos/Projects/JANUS/. The repository contains, for now, one package called "Janus". I guess there are more packages to come. It provides the abilities to exchange messages between FAMOUSO and ROS. FAMOUSO uses a similar Publisher/Subscriber System like ROS. If you create a Publisher with FAMOUSO it automatically creates a Publisher for ROS which you can subscribe and vice versa. FAMOUSO is a communication middleware developed at EOS, especially designed to work even on very small Embedded Systems like Smart Sensors. For further information about FAMOUSO please read http://famouso.sourceforge.net/. Greetings from Germany Jan Düwel
