2012-05-11 12:45:48 -0500 asked a question Why choose ros?

I just watched the presentation on ROS and PR2 robot along with google presentation.

My main question is, why ros? there are several other opensource robot programming... why ros? why should I put effort into learning this if this no longer be around in lets say even 3 years from now...

I mean PHP/HTML/JAVA/C++ etc are one of the many foundations....... why would ROS become what HTML is for websites, as ROS would become for robotica?.....

I am intersted, but I also think of my time being precious and want to choose carefully....
