I need to know if ROS can work with all kits? or needs specific requirements? I mean, can I buy any kit and control it by ROS? If yes, is there any needed chip, ports, or connectors? Thanks in advance.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not a programming question as defined in the [help] guidelines. Contact the vendor or project for general questions instead. – Ken White Feb 03 '15 at 17:13

You should use http://answers.ros.org/questions/ for questions regarding ROS, but yes, it is in general robot-agnostic.

    Not a strict requirement, but I think it is best to use Ubuntu, as this is the only operating system, that is officially supported and you can install everything with `apt-get` (there is experimental support for some other systems, though). – luator Feb 04 '15 at 10:36

No, not all robots. Only robots with X86 or ARM hardware that can run Ubuntu Linux.

There are also experimental versions of ROS for OS X, Gentoo Linux, Arch Linux, and Android (NDK)

When choosing your hardware platform, consider ROS support for various sensors and actuators, as well as the library of packages that add other capabilities.

Here's a very long list of robots that use ROS.
