ROS.jl

ROS.jl is a Julia wrapper of the ROS C++ client.

Requirements

  • Julia 1.3 (due to current Cxx limitations)

Installation

pkg> add ROS

or

using Pkg
Pkg.add("ROS")

Importing the ROS client wrapper

using ROS

Features

  • Automatic/Dynamic Julia msg and srv type generation
  • NodeHandles
  • Publishers and Subscribers
  • Service Servers and Clients
  • Action Servers and Clients
  • ROS Package
  • ROS Time
  • TF2

Naming conventions

  • All message and service names replace the C++ namespace symbol :: with an underscore _. Thus for example, geometry_msgs::PoseStamped would be translated in Julia to geometry_msgs_PoseStamped.
  • All generated ROS types have the same name as their contructor without the parentheses (). Thus for example, in Julia geometry_msgs_PoseStamped() will create a PoseStamped object but geometry_msgs_PoseStamped holds the C++ type of the PoseStamped object. This is useful for templated C++ ROS functions (callbacks etc).
