Initiate the development of a ROS library package that will serve as a foundational layer for building further robotics functionalities. This package will include basic setup, configurations, and a structured environment for developing specific modules within the ROS ecosystem. This step is crucial for standardizing our approach to robot software development and ensuring compatibility and scalability across various projects.
Tasks:
Set up a new ROS package using catkin_create_pkg or the appropriate setup tools for ROS2.
Define package dependencies and add them to the package.xml and CMakeLists.txt.
Create a basic structure for the library, including folders for scripts, nodes, and utilities.
Develop initial utility functions or classes that will be commonly used across projects.
Ensure proper integration with ROS build tools and test the build process.
Set up a basic testing framework for the library.
Document the setup and usage instructions in the README.md.
Expected Outcomes:
A fully functional ROS library package ready for further development and integration.
Standardized tools and methods for handling common robotic functionalities.
Documentation that aids in the usage and expansion of the library by other developers.
Note:
It’s important to verify the compatibility of all dependencies and maintain a clear versioning strategy to handle updates in the ROS ecosystem effectively.
