(Update 11/2/2018) Updated image with 2018–10–09 Stretch Lite Raspbian…

For those who don’t want to / cannot use Ubuntu Mate with your Raspberry Pi-based ROS robot, ROSbots creates and maintains a disk image of Raspbian Stretch Lite with ROS Kinetic and OpenCV installed.

What is ROSbots?

Our ROS+OpenCV Raspbian image is the software foundation that runs our ROSbots ROS+OpenCV robot kit for Makers.

The ROSbots robot kit allows you to do stuff like apply robot control theory to a real robot.

ROSbots — ROS + OpenCV Robot Kit

The image itself does not have the ROSbots software stack on it — only ROS and OpenCV — so you are free to use it for your own ROSbots-agnostic robot application.

Before you download the image…

We host the images on S3 and the downloads cost us quite a bit per month.

While we don’t ask for payment, please sign up to stay in touch with relevant ROS + OpenCV updates, promo offers on our ROSbots website.
