Robot Operating System provides middleware and tools.
ROS/ROS 2 is middleware with nodes communicating via topics, services and actions, plus tools (rviz, rosbag, tf, Nav2, MoveIt) and drivers. ROS 2 uses DDS for real-time, multi-robot and security. Speeds development and sharing; real-time safety still needs careful design.
A TurtleBot runs Nav2 for autonomous navigation using ROS 2.
ROS provides tools and communication for robot software, so teams can reuse code and build complex robots more quickly.

The Robot Operating System, a framework of libraries, tools and message passing that helps build and run robot software.
Named channels on which nodes publish and subscribe to messages, which decouples the parts of a robot system.
Typical applications include running a navigation stack on a mobile robot with prebuilt packages, logging the sensor data of a test robot for later analysis and connecting a camera driver to a motion planner through published topics.
Study "Sensor fusion" first (topic 68 of 102 in Manufacturing, Robotics & Systems). It covers the groundwork this topic builds on.
