 You can make use of ROS within EEROS in the following two ways.

-===== Example for Making your EEROS Application a ROS Node =====
-The CMAKE file for the EEROS application using ROS has to be expanded as follows:
-<code>
-cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5.1)
-project(testProject)
-set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
-## ROS
-message(STATUS "looking for package 'ROS'")
-find_package( roslib REQUIRED )
-if (roslib_FOUND)
-	message( STATUS "-> ROS found")
-	add_definitions(-DROS_FOUND)
-	include_directories( "${roslib_INCLUDE_DIRS}" )
-	message( STATUS "roslib_INCLUDE_DIRS: " ${roslib_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
-	list(APPEND ROS_LIBRARIES "${roslib_LIBRARIES}")
-	find_package( rosconsole REQUIRED)
-	list(APPEND ROS_LIBRARIES "${rosconsole_LIBRARIES}")
-	find_package( roscpp REQUIRED )
-	list(APPEND ROS_LIBRARIES "${roscpp_LIBRARIES}")
-else()
-	message( STATUS "-> ROS NOT found")
-endif()
-find_package(EEROS REQUIRED)
-include_directories(${EEROS_INCLUDE_DIR};${EEROS_LIBUCL_INCLUDE_DIR})
-link_directories(${EEROS_LIB_DIR};${EEROS_LIBUCL_LINK_DIR})
-add_executable(testProject main.cpp)
-target_link_libraries(testProject eeros ucl ${CMAKE_DL_LIBS} ${ROS_LIBRARIES})
-</code>
-Your test program might look like
-<code cpp>
-#include <eeros/control/ros/EerosRosTools.hpp>
-#include <ros/ros.h>
-#include <signal.h>
-int main(int argc, char **argv) {
-  ...
-  eeros::control::rosTools::initNode("eerosNode"); // initialize the ROS node in your main function and give it a name.
-  ros::NodeHandle handle; // start the internal node
-  log.info() << "ROS node initialized.";
-  signal(SIGINT, ...);
-  ...
-</code>
-All ROS tools such as ''rqt'' will list your EEROS application under the name ''eerosNode''. \\
-If you want to register a signal handler, e.g. for shutting down a system (see [[getting_started:practical_problems:abort|]]), you have to register it after the ROS node is initialized.
-The ROS node will properly shut down as soon as the last node handler is destroyed when going out of scope.
-===== Running your Application =====
-An EEROS application using ROS needs to be started with super user privileges. Further,
-ROS needs some system variables, like ''ROS_MASTER_URI'', which are defined by the ''setup.bash'' script of ROS.
-To forward these variables to the super user process, the option //-E// has to be used.
-<code>
-$ sudo -E ./application
-</code>
