System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Abstract hardware behind ROS 2 interfaces to decouple software from hardware specifics and enable interchangeable driver nodes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines standard interface contracts (cmd_vel/odom, LIDAR, IMU, and camera topics) to enable seamless swapping of hardware drivers without changing higher-level stacks.
  • Supports ros2_control integration and the ros2_control hardware abstraction pattern for multi-actuator robots.
  • Provides practical guidance and patterns for building thin-adapter driver nodes that translate hardware protocols to ROS 2 interfaces, illustrated with motor-driver examples and architecture diagrams.

Quick Start

Implement a minimal motor driver that translates Twist commands to wheel speeds and publishes Odometry for your robot base.
