ROS Interface

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open source meta operating system designed for robots. It serves as a kind of operating system, which includes hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functions, message passing between processes, and package management. It provides tools for providing, writing and building code across different machines.

We provide an open source ROS driver for our cameras (supporting both ROS1 and ROS2) that can be obtained from our GitHub repository. The documentation for ROS1 can be found on the ROS-Wiki. There you will find:

• Tutorials

• API Documentation

• Message and Action Type Definitions

For ROS2 please refer to the README in the GitHub repository and follow the link to the ROS2 documentation.
