This is a repository for ROS code developed at the University of Maryland. Most of the included nodes have been developed for the Robotics@Maryland student group's robots.

Source code is available using git at http://ram.umd.edu/git/ros/.

Installation from Ubuntu packages

The camera_umd and gps_umd stacks are packaged and available for the "unstable" distribution. They are named ros-unstable-gps-umd and ros-unstable-camera-umd.
