WORKSHOP: Defining a ROS package to standardize underwater messages
The Robot Operative System (ROS) has become a de facto standard for robot programming. The underwater community is also following this trend and adopting it as its main middleware. However, while commonly used sensor messages are well described for aerial and terrestrial robots (by means of standard packages like sensor_msgs), descriptions for most of the underwater sensors are not available. This has brought each center to implement their own messages wasting efforts and making difficult the cooperation among them. This workshop is intended to set the basis for a package containing the definition of a set of marine-related sensors commonly used by the underwater community.
This is a 4 hour stand-alone workshop starting on Tuesday, 2nd of October at 14:30 and ending at 18:30. If you’d like to attend this workshop, please fill out this confirmation form.
