Open Source Software
Open Source Logo (such as
ROS specifically designed for robotics) is a software package where the source code (written in a particular programming language) is available to the public to view, manipulate, and compile. Open Source Software has advantages because it allows the software community to adjust and construct the software how they see fit, however can be disadvantageous since it can't be privately controlled. You can find open source software written for a lot of different types of applications and generally has a large base of user support.
