Revision history [back]

It's not clear from your question exactly what capability you require.

The easy case: ROS is a distributed system that supports topic sharing between computers out-of-the-box -- you simply need to use the ROS_MASTER_URI environment variable (see the Running ROS across multiple machines tutorial).

If you really need separate masters running on individual computers, follow the advice given by @ahendrix about "multimaster".
