Unlike its predecessor ROS 1, which was designed for academic research, ROS 2 is built for production — with real-time support, multi-robot coordination, and robust security. At its core, ROS 2 is a distributed middleware framework that lets you run robotic software components (nodes) across multiple machines — making it inherently suited for self-hosted deployment.</p>
